Trump to nominate Jessie Liu for No. 3 spot at Justice Dept.

If confirmed by the Senate, Liu will oversee the civil division, the civil rights division, the antitrust division, the office overseeing police reform, and other divisions not related to criminal prosecutions or national security. Trump's intention to nominate her was first reportedLiu was nominated by Trump to serve as the head federal prosecutor in D.C. and was confirmed in September 2017.

Liu also served on Trump’s transition team, a position that Democrats raised as a potential conflict of interest during her confirmation as U.S. attorney. Last month, Trump nominated Jeff Rosen, the Transportation Department deputy secretary, to the No. 2 post at the Justice Department, the deputy attorney general.the current deputy attorney general, is expected to leave the post in the coming weeks.

Under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Rosenstein oversaw the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election after the recusal of Sessions. That left whoever was in the No. 3 spot in a de facto position to take oversight powers if Rosenstein was fired, something Trump often threatened publicly.Liu is a graduate of Harvard University and Yale Law School.

Conflict

AndrewGiambrone Yes..strong but at termoil with herself and own identity ..

Eeeewww

Trump nominates another women to a high ranking position. What a misogynist pig, and she’s a minority. What racist. Who’s going to stop this mad man 🙄

Does she have to be approved by Congress? If we had decent, and moral republicans who did their jobs, her being on the transition team might be a problem, but we don't.

100% an attempt at obstruction of justice. This is, quite frankly, the most deliberate attempt at obstructing the cases she is overseeing. This stinks from hell to high water! This, CAN NOT STAND resist revolt

Then any political position, tied to any media company or political party, is grounds for being denied a government position. These people are sick in the head.
