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.

I’m waiting for this guy to have a hang gliding accident.
We don’t need enemies when we’ve got Linda.
Ryan tactics all over again. This POS has to go.
what is new? Graham is co-opted. They have dirt on him. So he does what his monkey handlers tell him
He certainly is a snake in the grass. I hope Hannity finally wakes up to this traitor.
Remember when Clinton won his first time and the first thing he did was fire all the US Attorneys? How is this different?
When will the people in SC wake up and get rid of this POS?
Can’t Barr just fire him? If Linda can’t get him replaced, then, oh well.
Of course. After all he just won his primary. Time to set the conservative facade aside and be a swamp creature for about 5 1/2 years.
No justice in the US Congress.
Demonrats have backbones of iron and never bend. Rinos have no backbone and can barely stand up.
Oh linda. You just so crazy! Advancement out of spite would work for me.
Appoint an acting one, demand McConnell change chairs.
Lindsey, those blackmailers have no teeth because everybody already knows you’re a queer.
I bet his old pal McShame is applauding this latest shenanigan — from above or perhaps below!!!
This, on top of the woeful week from SCOTUS, does nothing but discourage our side from turning out to vote.
It’s a shame PDJT cannot have a MAGA party to back up his MAGA agenda and enforce the rule of law!!
Lady G still trying to hide he is queer and hires male prostitutes
The Democrats would never offer the same deal if the situation were reversed.
