The White House announced on Thursday President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate assistant to the U.S. solicitor general Rachel Kovner to a federal trial judgeship in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Kovner, who has argued 11 cases before the high court since 2013, has been rumored as a possible judicial nominee since last year. Before joining the U.S. Solicitor General’s Office, she was an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York who handled trial and appellate work. In 2011, she was part of a team that won guilty verdicts against lawyers involved in an illegal tax shelter scheme.
