Sen. Lindsey Graham said Saturday he will not take up President Trump's nomination for a new U.S. attorney for Manhattan unless New York's Democratic senators sign off.
Graham, a Republican from South Carolina who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he will honor the "blue slip" tradition and require the consent of home state senators to proceed -- in this case, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.
Graham's statement signals an uphill climb for Trump to get a new Senate-confirmed federal prosecutor in one of the nation’s most high-profile districts. It comes hours after Attorney General Bill Barr made a Friday night announcement that Geoffrey Berman, the current U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, is stepping down.

This attorney general is valuable to someone. Scary.
Lunda is a worthless, stinking tool.
Curious, tho...what prosecutorial experience does the SEC guy, that POTUS wants to put in, have?
I haven’t researched the guy, so I have no idea.
Or full blown aids
Barr’s made his decision so Graham can’t stomp his feet, but to no avail. Barr’s smarter than Graham and knows how to handle this.
You know I am at the end of my rope with Graham and Romney the ONLY thing Graham has done for us is to back up Kavanah I frankly don’t give a damn if we end up with a Dem in his seat the ONLY way to rid ourselves of these POS is to bite the bullet and vote against him!! We ALL keep saying BUT we will lose the senate SO this just continues to go on!! It was VERY PAINFUL to lose the house HOWEVER look at the improvement and we will get it back this cycle WITH Trump supporters!!
So Graham, idiot that he is, just hands full power to the opposition knowing full well Dems do nothing without reciprocation that is worth at least thrice what you ask of them. Moron!
Trump still gets a pick as an ‘acting prosecutor’ ... the guy from the SEC.
I doubt any of this happens without mcconnell’s say so
And he whines asking for money to stay in office...
Good ole Graham.
You can usually depend on him to slip a knife into your kidneys.
Who needs enemies when you have friends like this one?
Can't somebody take him skiing?
Dear Linda:
The Freepers will not be amused. And I just hope that Trump has named a Take No Prisoners guy as Acting U.S. Attorney.
Yes.
I’m with you.
Linda is a piece of $hit.
Barr can’t. The President can....and I’m sure it’s in the works as there’s a July 3rd date for a temp to take over.
He already has. No idea if the guy is “take no prisoners” or not.
And W...and Obama...
“ We don’t need enemies when we’ve got Linda.”
I’m sure Hannity will have Graham on to explain it all to us
Let me know, since I don’t watch Hannity. His reciting of GOP establishment talking points gives me a headache
Graham is caught in the illusion that the Woke won’t decapitate him, too, when they take over.
Seems he cares about manners being prim and proper more than he cares about defending our Nation and conservative philosophy and policy.
It’s all about Power, not principle.
I’m growing weary of this preening jackass.
