💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump's selections for U.S. attorneys in Nevada, New York, and New Jersey face pushback from Democratic senators, who may block them using a Senate custom that gives home-state senators veto power. Key roles are in contention due to Trump's emphasis on loyalty and perceived politicization of the Justice Department. Examples include disagreements over appointments in Nevada, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., with accusations of retribution and politicized charges.
