In his previous role as Assistant Attorney General for National Security, for

Senate on a bipartisan basis, he oversaw nearly 400 employees responsible for
protecting the nation against terrorism, espionage, and cyber and other
national security threats. Under his leadership, the NSD:

national security, cyber, and espionage threats against American companies and

Investigated the attack on Sony Entertainment’s computer systems;
Brought charges, in conjunction with the FBI, against seven Iranians

the government before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Prior to assuming his role in the NSD, John served as Chief of Staff and
Senior Counsel to Robert S. Mueller, III, former director of the FBI,
where he helped lead the FBI’s evolution to meet growing and changing national
security threats, including cyber threats. He also held positions as National
Coordinator of DOJ’s Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Program and
Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, where he
prosecuted cyber, fraud, and public corruption matters, among others, trying
more than 40 cases to verdict.
John is an inaugural Fellow of the Harvard Kennedy
School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs’ Homeland Security
Project, focused on the unique challenges and choices around protecting the
American homeland. He also chairs the Aspen Institute’s Cybersecurity and
Technology policy program, which provides a cross-disciplinary forum for
industry, government, and media to address the rapidly developing landscape of
digital threats and craft appropriate policy solutions.
John, who joined DOJ through the Attorney
General’s Honors Program, is a five-time recipient of the Department of Justice
Award for Special Achievement, was awarded the National Intelligence Superior
Public Service medal by the Director of National Intelligence, and has drawn
bipartisan praise, with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch calling him “a
trusted and tireless leader” and former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey
calling him “a superb civil servant.” He earned his Juris Doctorate from
Harvard Law School, where he received the Samuel J. Heyman Fellowship for
Federal Government Service and served as Articles editor for the Harvard
