State Representative Craig Williams has been appointed by House Speaker Bryan Cutler to manage the impeachment trial of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. Williams, a Republican from Delaware and Chester counties, expressed his readiness for the role.

“It is an honor to be chosen by the speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to present the evidence and prosecute the articles of impeachment against the Philadelphia district attorney,” said Williams. “I will use my background as a federal and military prosecutor to carry out the Pennsylvania Constitution’s mandate that will soon go before the Pennsylvania Senate.”

Williams brings extensive legal experience to this position. He served as chief prosecutor at a major Marine Corps base and was head prosecutor for the Marine Corps Reserve. His career also includes roles as deputy legal counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, focusing on ethics and detainee issues in federal court, as well as serving with the U.S. Department of Justice in Colorado and Pennsylvania.

His educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy from Duke University, a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida College of Law, and a Master of Laws from Columbia University School of Law.

The House recently passed Resolution 240 to impeach Krasner for alleged misbehavior in office. The process now moves to the Pennsylvania Senate for trial proceedings and a decision on potential removal from office.

Speaker Cutler is tasked with appointing three members—two from his party and one from another—to present articles of impeachment to the Senate. Alongside Williams, Reps. Tim Bonner (R-Mercer/Butler) and Jared Solomon (D-Philadelphia) have been named managers.
