Aakash Singh

Aakash Singh (1992/1993 – ) is an associate deputy attorney general in the second Donald Trump administration. Singh has been characterized as an important figure in aligning federal prosecutors with Trump's political agenda. Singh instructed federal prosecutors to prioritize criminal cases related to protests against mass deportation during the second Trump administration and to make sure to publicize those cases.

Singh helped Lindsay Halligan, a Trump loyalist who was placed by Trump in the Eastern Virginia US attorney’s office to pursue flawed cases against Trump's perceived foes, including James Comey.

In 2026, The New York Times reported that Singh was involved in suppressing an investigation into the circumstances of Trump's pardoning of David Gentile, a convicted fraudster behind a $1.6 billion scheme to defraud mom-and-pop investors.
