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.

Memo to Valerie Jarrett:
Will you tell Dumbo that the election’s over and it’s too late to pander to blacks or women with this twofer, mmkay?
There are ways of correcting someone without being a jerk.
Have a nice day, Jerk.
True but it was never talked about and never out in the open. Loretta Lynch will be out in the open as the first gay Attorney General and the gays will love this as it advances the gay agenda. Janet Reno never helped advance the gay agenda. She was premature plus much preferred being closeted
Motivated by shame; he went on a strict diet after his young daughter asked him why he was so fat. I applaud his effort.
Harvard grad...which in my mind immediately disqualifies her
Bill Clinton's AG would probably take issue with that statement.
LOL, Reverend Al has found a way to work out a few extra calories...
“I was born a coal miner’s daughter...”
I thought that would happen much sooner. I was checking for it.
She was not out as a lesbian
Well, I’m not nuthin’ if I ain’t predictable!

She looks a lot like a cross between Obama and Sharpton. That is not a compliment. Besides, she has to be an arrogant radical leftist just like
Holder.
I do like her lovely Irish name. However, she will be the lamest of lame duck AG’s.
Good luck, Loretta.
Oh, and where is the Chief Jackass going in Asia? Do they have golf courses there?
She’s Irish—and she got convictions in the Louima case.
Sounds like a stand-up lady to me.
That was not a phony case. Some brutal NYPD cops put a long broomstick up the ass of an ordinary hardworking citizen. Abner had extensive internal injuries.
Grow up!
Some women never find the right guy.
Who are you to judge?
Need I remind you that Staten Island is run by the Tony Soprano Mafia?
Grimm is a typical crooked nose WOP!
