Mimi Rocah on Trump's Legal Battles and the Fight For the Rule of Law

Mimi Rocah was most recently District Attorney of NY’s Westchester County. During her four years as DA, she modernized the DA’s Office, aggressively pursued gun and violent crime, developed ways to better serve crime victims, and instituted sensible criminal justice reforms. Prior to becoming DA, she served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) for nearly 17 years from 2001-2017 rising to become Chief of the White Plains Criminal Division. As an AUSA, she prosecuted and oversaw cases involving violent crime, organized crime, human trafficking, sex trafficking, child exploitation, frauds and public corruption and co-chaired task forces on public health and sex trafficking.

Before running for office, Mimi was a Legal Analyst with MSNBC/NBC News from 2017-19 and is now a frequent commentator on MSNBC, CNN, The Contrarian, and numerous podcasts and radio shows on topics relating to law, justice, women’s issues and antisemitism, and has written and published dozens of opinion pieces on those topics. She is an expert in the rule of law, democracy and the corruption and abuse of the justice system. And she is currently an adjunct professor at Fordham University School of Law.
