}}Russell Coleman is the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky.[1]

On September 22, 2017, following nomination by President Trump and unanimous confirmation by the U.S. Senate, Coleman was sworn-in as United States Attorney.

The Western District of Kentucky encompasses 53 counties with a population of more than 2.2 million, includes two military installations and federal courthouses in Louisville, Bowling Green, Paducah, and Owensboro. The Office is responsible for prosecuting violations of federal law, to include crimes related to firearms, narcotics, public corruption, child exploitation, wire and bank fraud, and terrorism. The office also defends the United States in civil cases.[2]

In February 2019, Coleman penned a guest column for the Courier Journal reflecting on the opioid crisis and his firsthand experience viewing an autopsy of a suspected opiate overdose. [3] The column, "Her violent death shattered my preconceptions of opioid overdose" describes the duty to protect Kentuckians from a similar fate, and the weighty stick the United States Attorney's Office uses to target those who deal death.

Coleman previously served as a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as legal counsel to United States Senator Mitch McConnell, and as the Briefing Coordinator to two U.S. Attorney's General at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Most recently, he practiced law in Louisville as a partner at Frost Brown Todd from 2015 to 2017 and served as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for Kentucky's 12th Judicial Circuit.

Coleman currently serves as Vice Chair of the Law Enforcement Coordination & Relations Subcommittee of the Attorney General's Advisory Committee (AGAC) and a member of the AGAC's Heroin and Opiate Working Group. USA Coleman also serves on the Executive Board of the Appalachia High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).

Mr. Coleman grew up in rural Western Kentucky, having been raised in Graves, Daviess and Logan Counties, and graduated from Logan County High School. He received both his undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Kentucky.
