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.

Well we gotta keep our powder dry, you understand, for the important fights to come...
Lord, if I hear that one more time................
I just want to know the exact date these people keep referring to. Because I remember it every time an issue comes up people would actually have to expend effort on with a chance of failure...and we must never seem to get to it. The powder is now so dry it lost the ability to burn.
When I hear it, the words ‘political coward’ flash immeadiately to mind.
Any AG nomination process will need to explore the current outstanding issues with the AG office. For starters, the office of AG is still in contempt of Congress.
” hen I hear it, the words ‘political coward’ flash immeadiately to mind.”
PURE
Whoever she is, she only has 2 years.
It has been proved that we can get along without an AG doing the job of the people because we've had Holder for this long and he only worked on the laws that were in HIS best interest.
Or Gladys Knight, but she has given the world beauty nd not ugliness.
Well I am a purist afterall ;)
“Black, female,communist, white-hating lesbian. What could go wrong?”
If I were a betting man, I would say she also as a limp.

Pray America is awake
That case had nothing to do with racism and everything to do with police brutality. Maybe if you read up on it you’d avoid mistakes like that.
They need to ask her that as a black skinned liberal democrat can she blindly administer justice or will she always favor the black man no matter what the crime like Holder does. I think this is a fair question that needs to be asked. Black liberals have proved over and over again that they can’t be fair to white people and don’t need to be in these types of positions.
He’s didn’t hear about Moochelle approving fried chicken.
Obama is making sure there won’t be another black person elected president for the next 50 years.
