Will This Be Trump’s New Attorney General?
President Trump has been thinking of bringing back a former Attorney General to replace Jeff Sessions. Fox News reports:
President Trump wants to nominate William Barr, the George H.W. Bush-era leader of the Justice Department, as his next attorney general, sources told Fox News.
While Trump does not know Barr, he likes the immense respect Barr commands and the fact that he has earned bipartisan support in the past, the sources said.
Still, other sources indicated that Trump could still decide to go with someone else. Others believed to be under consideration include Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Those close to Trump are divided over the choice: One source close to the White House told Fox News that Barr would be a bad choice, saying “Barr could be worse than Jeff Sessions.”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned at the president’s request after the November midterms. For months, Trump lambasted Sessions in public over his recusal from the Russia investigation. The president then named Matthew Whitaker, who was chief of staff to Sessions, acting attorney general.
This could be a major win for Trump, whose approach to law enforcement has been similar to George H.W. Bush’s in many ways.

About The Author
If he was in the Bush administration I”m not sure he will do the job the people expect fro a AG. Hillary and the other criminals of the OBummer regime must go to trial.
He should make Joe deGeniva the next Atty. General. He will get that swamp cleaned out in no time
Trump needs to find someone that has NO connection to anyone in Washington.
I AGREE THAT THE NEW AG SHOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTIONS TO WASHINGTON, DC. IT SHOULD BE A PERSON WHO AGGRESSIVELY DESTROYS THE DEEP STATE AND THE SWAMP. LITTLE TALK. MUCH ACTION.
Not another Washington insider PLEASE! Matthew Whitaker is better than anyone mentioned. Leave him there and unleash him. If you can’t get Trey then stick with Matthew.
