Transparency Summary
As U.S. Attorney, Damian Williams is less publicly available than Preet Bharara, under whom Mr. Williams served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Whereas Mr. Bharara was a media showboat, Mr. Williams, by contrast, is restrained in terms of his media availability. U.S. Attorney's generally are not very transparent, since speaking about possible corruption investigations could compromise their cases or taint possible jury pools.
