Chester County District Attorney Thomas P. Hogan on Friday announced that Deputy District Attorney Peter Hobart has been hired by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Hobart will become the assistant U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Hogan said. He will be based in Scranton.

“It is a great honor for the Department of Justice to select one of our prosecutors,” Hogan said. “The job of a federal prosecutor carries extraordinary responsibilities and requires impeccable credentials. We are sorry to lose Peter Hobart, but recognize that the District Attorney’s Office can be a launching pad to other outstanding positions.”

Hogan has been with the Chester County District Attorney’s Office for 13 years.

“I am grateful for lessons learned in my time at the District Attorney’s Office, sad to be leaving my friends and colleagues in Chester County, and humbled by the prospect of serving as an Assistant United States Attorney,” Hobart said.
