Loretta Lynch Sworn In As 83rd Attorney General

After a historically long wait, Loretta Lynch officially became the 83rd Attorney General of the United States Monday. “It’s about time this woman is being sworn in,” Vice President Joe Biden said Monday at Lynch’s ceremony. With her husband and father — who recently celebrated his 83rd birthday — by her side, Lynch took the oath of office to become the first African-American woman to hold the position. And despite the lengthy wait that defined her nomination process and led to harsh words from President Obama for congressional Republicans, Lynch came across as humbled and gracious during her remarks as the nation’s newly minted top prosecutor. “It would be an understatement to say my heart is full, but it is,” Lynch said Monday. She thanked Obama and Biden for “believing in me.” She thanked Sens.
