And as I have no doubt that my selection for this role has much to do with the faith and confidence our senators and president have in our Nation’s best attorney general, very special thanks to @AGIowa @BrennaBird for inviting me to join her office two years ago.

I had the honor this afternoon to be sworn in as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa. I would appreciate your prayers that I have the wisdom to undertake this new duty with honor and grace.

Thank you, Senators @ChuckGrassley and @SenJoniErnst for recommending me to the White House, and thank you, President @realDonaldTrump for this appointment to serve the people of Iowa and the United States.

"I’m humbled by President Donald Trump’s nomination,” said Olson. “I’m also grateful to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senator Joni Ernst for their endorsements. The opportunity to serve Iowa and our Nation is a blessing.”
