In addition to possible appointments for U.S. Attorney for New York’s Eastern and Southern Districts, President Donald Trump is also considering a list of nominees to fill nine vacancies on the federal bench in New York, according to media reports.
The Trump administration reportedly sent a list of proposed candidates to fill vacancies at the federal prosecutors’ offices and on the judiciary to U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in July as a way of starting a conversation with the two Democratic senators, though the White House has yet to formally announce any nominees.
