U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger has assembled a diverse leadership team headed by two veteran prosecutors who secured convictions in the Bridgegate scandal.

Sellinger has named Vikas Khanna as first assistant U.S. attorney. Khanna will head a leadership team that is among the most diverse in the history of the office, with 13 women and seven attorneys from diverse backgrounds. He returns to the U.S. Attorney's Office after spending the past three years with Katten Muchin Rosenman in New York.
