Montana native Kurt Alme has been tapped once again to head up the US Attorney's office here in Montana.

According to a press release from the US Attorney's office, was already sworn in by Chief U. S. District Judge Brian Morris on March 17, 2025 after being appointed by President Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Alme will serve on an interim basis as the US Attorney for 120 days or until a Presidential nominee has been confirmed by the Senate.

Here's more, from the press release:

Mr. Alme brings over 30 years of legal experience to his new role. He previously served as an Assistant U. S. Attorney in Montana from 2003 to 2010, where he focused on financial investigations involving white collar fraud, government program fraud, bankruptcy fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion. Mr. Alme also served as the First Assistant U. S. Attorney from 2006 to 2010, before leaving to serve as the Executive V. P. and, later, the President and General Counsel of the Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch Foundation. In September 2017, Mr. Alme was unanimously confirmed as Montana’s U. S. Attorney, after being recommended by Senator Steve Daines and nominated by President Trump, a post he held until December 2020. Since then, he served as State Budget Director for Governor Greg Gianforte and most recently as the Executive V. P. for Planned Giving with the National Christian Foundation.

Kurt is a great guy. He's a Great Falls, Montana native who graduated from Custer County District High School in Miles City. I would add that he is someone who will be serious about tackling the illegal alien fueled drug crimes facing the state of Montana after the open borders policies of the Biden Administration.

Don't hold it against him, but he got his law degree from Harvard- and never forgot where he came from.

Kurt Alme: "I am grateful to Attorney General Bondi for the opportunity to serve again as United States Attorney for Montana. The U. S. Attorney’s Office has an outstanding group of people who are giving their careers to make Montana safer and fairly represent the United States in legal matters. I look forward to again working with them and all of our dedicated federal, tribal, state and local law enforcement and prosecuting partners to continue the important work of combatting violent crime, the trafficking of methamphetamine and fentanyl, and illegal immigration.”

Here's some of my prior reporting from when Kurt was US Attorney during the first Trump Administration.
