The White House is giving up on two of President Donald Trump's nominees for the federal bench.
The president will not pursue the nominations of Brett Talley to a district court slot in Alabama and Jeff Mateer to a district court post in Texas, a White House official confirmed to POLITICO Wednesday.
Talley indicated he was prepared to withdraw from consideration after coming under criticism for a lack of experience and for failing to disclose that his wife works in the White House counsel's office.
"He has offered to withdraw his nomination thus it will not be moving forward," said a White House official who asked not to be named.
The official added that the nomination of Mateer, who ran into trouble over extreme statements about transgender children, "will not be moving forward."
Talley's nomination was endorsed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote last month, while Mateer had yet to be scheduled for a hearing.

... and loss of Alabama Senator.
There is no such thing as a ‘transgender’ child!
Vetoed by Collins and/or Murkowski.
Democrats just invented them.
“I can’t say I’m sad about Talley. He has never tried a case in his life and that failure to disclose just does not give a sense of good morals.”
I havent either and I’m not even a lawyer. I could still come up with much saner decisions than some of the scum aleady on the bench.
Mateer’s comments as reported by CNN
n Colorado, a public school has been sued because a first grader and I forget the sex, she’s a girl who thinks she’s a boy or a boy who thinks she’s a girl, it’s probably that, a boy who thinks she’s a girl,” Mateer said in a video posted on Vimeo in 2015 and reviewed by CNN’s KFile. “And the school said, ‘Well, she’s not using the girl’s restroom.’ And so she has now sued to have a right to go in. Now, I submit to you, a parent of three children who are now young adults, a first grader really knows what their sexual identity? I mean it just really shows you how Satan’s plan is working and the destruction that’s going on.”
