Steven M. Biskupic (born March 26, 1961) is an American attorney who served as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin from 2002 to 2009 under Attorneys General John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales and Michael Mukasey. He was appointed by George W. Bush in May 2002. Prior to his appointment, Biskupic served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for 13 years, specializing in the prosecution of white-collar crime.
In 2007, Biskupic and his office came under review by US Congressional and Senate investigators looking at the 2006 Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys controversy. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice's internal affairs unit cleared Biskupic of any ethical wrongdoing in the Georgia Thompson prosecution.
