Adair Ford Boroughs Steps Down as U.S. Attorney for South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Adair Ford Boroughs has officially stepped down from her position as U.S. Attorney for the District of South Carolina, a move announced by the United States Attorney’s Office on Tuesday. Brook B. Andrews has been appointed as her successor.

Boroughs, who took office in July 2022 after being nominated by former President Joe Biden, held the position during a significant transitional period for the office as the new administration shifts its personnel. Throughout her tenure, Boroughs emerged as a staunch advocate against hate crimes, securing five federal convictions and leading seven United Against Hate events in collaboration with the FBI across South Carolina.

One of her most notable achievements was the successful extradition of a Nigerian man involved in sextortion crimes, which tragically led to the death of a 17-year-old. This case highlighted her commitment to combating serious crimes and ensuring justice for victims.

Reflecting on her time in office, Boroughs expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve. “It has been the honor of my career to return to the Department of Justice and to serve alongside the men and women of the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” she stated. Boroughs praised her colleagues for their dedicated work in upholding the rule of law, ensuring public safety, and protecting civil rights, adding, “Thank you for trusting me with this work.”

As Andrews steps into the role, the District of South Carolina looks forward to the new direction and leadership he will bring to the office.
