President-elect Donald Trump will tap Sen. Jeff Sessions to be his Attorney General, according to Bloomberg News and the New York Times.
Sessions, the first U.S. Senator to endorse Trump, was rumored for a number of positions in Trump’s cabinet, including Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense but it appears that the former Attorney General of Alabama has been selected for the highest law and order position in the administration.
Sen. Ted Cruz was also rumored for the position after he was spotted at Trump Tower, meeting with the president elect.
The official announcement from Trump’s transition team is expected later today.
In addition, Rep. Mike Pompeo has been selected by Trump as CIA director ...

One and two. He was interviewing him as head gardener. Someone has to sweep the debris off all that new cement Moo had poured around her veggie garden. Though it’ll be tough keeping his fertilizer off the paths.
It’s time to just accept the fact that every Trump appointment from here on out, including WH groundskeeper, will be characterized as “controversial.”
Actually my hope is that he keeps Preet Bharha as USA for the Southern District. He has both deBlasio and Cuomo in his sights.
Thank God!
He offered a spot to Ben Carson which was rejected. So it is not for want of trying.
Kudos to Gowdy for his unrelenting hearings trying to nail Hellery on Benghazi, but after she lied to him and the Committee, he did nothing. Sessions is the better pick.
Alabamans will have to enlighten us about the first names showing up in consideration to be appointed to replace Sessions:
US Representative Martha Roby, AL Attorney General Luther Strange, State Senator Trip Pittman, State Senator Cam Ward.
I hope he doesn’t screw up and appoint Romney for any significant position
I’m beside myself over Sessions! He’s my first choice.
Can’t stop smiling..even at work.
In the meantime I am sure that Levin has some acidic commentary.
Trump screws up a lot less than I do so I’ll be ok with his picks.
My thought as well. Trump has to pick from his 'list' for Scalia's seat. After that he can pick Cruz.
So will I. I trust him.
or perhaps I am wrong .......
4. This was an act between them 2 all along.
Don’t give up your day job.
“Wondering why Trump had Cruz spend 5 hours with his team...”
Ted probably sat waiting in the hall for all but fifteen minutes.
Yes, Faux spouted the Democratic talking points that will be used to try to derail the nomination in Senate confirmation hearings. These were things he supposedly said or wrote way back in 1986 or earlier. Of course, none of these things and much worse hurt Senator Byrd from West Virginia when he was the senior member of the Senate.
Friends close, enemies closer. Don’t need the junior senator from Calgary, Alberta sitting in the Senate fighting Trumps legislation.
Ted was there discussing Surgeon General. You don’t have to be a doctor.
Temperment! Jeff Sessions NEVER gets flustered.
