President Donald Trump is planning to tap the U.S. attorney in Washington, Jessie Liu, to fill the long-vacant No. 3 position at the Justice Department, the White House announced Tuesday.
Picking Liu for the No. 3 position could assuage concerns among some senators about Trump’s pick for deputy attorney general, Deputy Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Rosen, who has no prosecutorial experience. Attorney General William Barr, who was confirmed last month, said in a statement Tuesday that he recommended Liu for the post and was pleased Trump made the nomination.
“With her record of public service, particularly in civil justice and federal law enforcement matters, it is clear that she will be an outstanding addition to our leadership team at the Department,” Barr added.
