Trump to Nominate Jessie Liu as Justice Department’s No. 3 Official

WASHINGTON—President Trump will nominate federal prosecutor Jessie Liu as the Justice Department’s No. 3 official, people familiar with the plan said, after a year in which his administration failed to persuade several candidates to take on the challenging position.

If confirmed, Ms. Liu, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, would take on the post of associate attorney general. She would oversee the department’s civil work, including antitrust and civil-rights matters, and all litigation defending the government...

This would allow realDonaldTrump to hand pick a new US attorney with oversight in the cases of Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Sam Patten. SenateDems SenateGOP please take note of this when the confirmation hearings begin. Please do your job. ObstructionOfJustice

Republicans have lost their way. They don’t care about the rules of law and our constitution any longer. LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr you will be judged in history as the two main people to help bring democracy down! What does he have on you?

Hopefully she’s better than the long list of the indictable bottom of the barrel cabinet picks and nominees that Trump vast experience has selected and come and gone or been indicted for a crime like he will soon!

Guess Trump made a mistake. He doesn’t want anyone who knows what they are doing
