For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI
On the Prospective Nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to Serve as Attorney General
WASHINGTON, November 18, 2016.—I want to congratulate Senator Jeff Sessions on his prospective 
nomination by President-Elect Trump to serve as Attorney General of the United States.
I had the honor of working for Senator Sessions on the Senate Judiciary Committee, when he 
chaired the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts.  Senator Sessions was and is a 
good man and a superb senator: honorable, thoughtful, devoted to the Constitution, and deeply committed 
to equal justice and the rule of law.  He has long employed a diverse staff of attorneys—during my tenure, 
his staff consisted of an African-American man, two women, and me, a first-generation Indian-
American—all of whom worked every day to fulfill his vision of a just and free America.
I commend Senator Sessions’ nomination without reservation.  The Department of Justice and the 
American people will benefit from his leadership.
