David G. Bress

David G. Bress (1908-1976) was an American lawyer who served as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia from 1965 to 1969. He was nominated by President Johnson for a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, but the Senate never voted on his nomination.

Bress later served as a defense lawyer for alleged Watergate conspirator Robert Mardian.[1] Shortly after Mardian's trial began, Bress became so ill from cancer that he was unable to continue working, and he was replaced by his assistant Tom Green.[2]
