Ex-federal prosecutor Ryan Crosswell joins PA-7 congressional race
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Ryan Crosswell, a former federal prosecutor who resigned in protest over the Trump administration’s handling of criminal cases in February, has announced his campaign for the Lehigh Valley’s congressional district.
In a campaign video posted Sunday, Crosswell recounted his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution both when he enlisted as a Marine and when he joined the U.S. Department of Justice.
But President Donald Trump poses the greatest threat to Americans’ rights and freedoms as he forces career prosecutors to drop criminal charges against his allies and pursue charges against his opponents, Crosswell said.
