"WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden said on Monday he intends to nominate Todd Kim, former solicitor general for the District of Columbia, to lead the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division as its assistant attorney general.

If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Kim would become the department’s top attorney overseeing its criminal and civil cases to enforce the nation’s environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

The position was held during the Trump administration by Jeffrey Bossert Clark, an attorney who once represented oil company BP Plc in the aftermath of the company’s 2010 drilling rig explosion."
