ABOUT TREY GOWDY: Gowdy currently serves as a host on Fox News, anchoring the weekend primetime program Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy. He grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina. After law school he clerked for a judge on the South Carolina Court of Appeals and then for a U.S. District Court trial judge.
From 1994-2000, as a federal prosecutor, Trey prosecuted the full range of federal crimes including narcotics trafficking, bank robbery, car jacking, kidnapping, child pornography cases, and the murder of a federal witness. In 2000, he left the U.S. Attorney’s office to run for 7th Circuit Solicitor (District Attorney) in Spartanburg and Cherokee Counties.
