Yesterday, President Trump announced that he will nominate The Heritage Foundation’s Dr. David Muhlhausen to be the next director of the National Institute of Justice within the Department of Justice. Below is a quote from Heritage’s Founder and President Ed Fuelner on this news:

“President Trump’s announcement yesterday that he intends to nominate Dr. David Muhlhausen to be the director of the National Institute of Justice is welcome news. It is also a testament to David’s professional dedication to promoting the notion that public policies and programs should be driven and reformed according to fact-based assessments of their real-world effectiveness. I expect David will bring the same rigor, intensity and integrity to his job at NIJ that he brought to all his research here at The Heritage Foundation. As director, David will make sure the entire Department of Justice has objective analyses that will help it improve its programs and practices. We at Heritage congratulate him and wish him all the best.
