Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, is expected to be President Barack Obama's pick for Attorney General, U.S. officials briefed on the matter told CNN.
An announcement is expected in the coming days, though timing is complicated by the president's plans to travel to Asia this weekend.
Lynch is a popular prosecutor who is in her second stint as US Attorney in New York's eastern district, appointed by President Obama in 2010 and also serving in the same post from 1999-2001 under President Bill Clinton.
White House principal deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told CNN in a statement "We don't have any personnel updates for you, and I'm certainly not going to speculate on any decisions before the President announces them."
U.S. Officials says the President's decision is not official until there is a formal announcement from the White House.
Lynch would be the second woman to serve as Attorney General and second African American to hold the post.
Lynch served on the trial team that prosecuted and won convictions against New York City police officers for violating the civil rights of Abner Louima, a Haitian immigrant who police sodomized.

AMEN! Don’t let her through.......
Attorney General Lynch is “ all bout that action, boss”........
She’ll be president after Amnesty passes.
There’s that..
LOL.
Sure enough!
When I first saw her on Drudge, my thoughts exactly. She does look like Sharpton in drag.
“Outside of being a black woman, what are her qualifications?”
Requiring “qualifications” is a tool of the white oppressor to keep down minorities.
Or they could whine about her prosecution of Rep. Michael Grimm, a R-Staten Island, for alleged tax fraud. Jury is still out as to whether that is real or just a typical Democrat partisan witch hunt.
Not that much of a resemblance, but they may have the same hairdresser.
Stalinism, racism, sexism and a willingness to lie about anything that will benefit or protect the bOss.
I've searched, but can't find that she's married, ever been married, or ever had children. She's 55.
Reno was gay. She was hooked up with Donna Shalala.
What in the world is a “popular Prosecutor?”
About as political as you can get. Just another boot licker.
How about that. The coal miners daughter.
Whoa! I need glasses. I read it as “ Lorretta Lynn”.
Oh, ok........
.she’s black....who would have guessed....and female....who would have guessed... ANNNND, maybe Lgbtqsstup?
Now I suppose we will hear from all the FReepers who believe we can’t stop this nomination, which of course, is pure crap.
Aside from the oxymoron alert, the mere fact that a prosecutor is popular ought to disqualify her from holding any government office.
