On Saturday, December 21, 2024, President-elect Donald J. Trump released the following statement regarding Aaron Reitz: "I am pleased to nominate Aaron Reitz to serve as the next Head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy (OLP). Aaron will lead OLP to develop and implement DOJ's battle plans to advance my Law and Order Agenda, and restore integrity to our Justice System. He will be working with Attorney General Nominee, Pam Bondi.
Aaron is currently Senator Ted Cruz's Chief of Staff, and was previously Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Deputy, where he led dozens of successful lawsuits against the lawless and crooked Biden Administration.
Aaron is a true MAGA attorney, a warrior for our Constitution, and will do an outstanding job at DOJ. Congratulations Aaron!"
