**Trenton, NJ** – The New Jersey Attorney General, Matthew J. Platkin, has issued a statement concerning allegations against Lt. Colonel Sean Kilcomons. Platkin stated that if the allegations are substantiated, such conduct is unacceptable in law enforcement and society.

Platkin announced he has recused himself from the investigation related to these allegations and will reserve judgement until it concludes. He emphasized the importance of never tolerating antisemitism or any form of bias.
