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 Trumps 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 Trumps transition team is expected later today.
In addition, Rep. Mike Pompeo has been selected by Trump as CIA director ...

My neighboring county. So proud of Senator Sessions!
Here's who I am considering for these jobs. If you have my back in the Senate you can have the next open SC seat after Scalia has been replaced.
Yep, Trump is completely trolling the media, but he is trolling the GOP traitors too, acting like they are in the running for something when they are not. President Trump is brilliant.
Dammit! I wanted to see Trey Gowdy in that position. Wouldn’t Gowdy take the job?
"In 2005, Pryor was nominated by President George W. Bush a U.S. Circuit Judge for the 11th Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. His nomination led to a partisan controversy in the Senate Judiciary Committee that one conservative magazine referred to as the "most extraordinary Judiciary Committee sessions in recent memory."
He will dissect them, all the while talking in that soft little southern drawl. I can’t wait.
Look for the racist accusations to be unearthed shortly.
I would also like to see Sheriff David Clarke selected for Secretary of Homeland Security.
I love the pick; I hate the Senate loss.
AmbASSador to Cuba?
Just learn to like it... :)
It is a shame we can’t have clone 52 Sessions for the senate.
Bump!!
Yup. There are zero elected Democrats anywhere in the county government.(Baldwin County)
LMAO!!! As Attorney General. Love it!
Someone mentioned CRUZ would do well as COMPTROLLER.
Oh, I dunno.. I like a more round number.. like 100.
Absolutely best pick.
Just the man to clean out the rats nest in the Department of Just us.
I'll believe at least "Cruz won't be Trump's first pick for AG."
Fantastic!
Gee, the Trump team is in such disarray </sarc>, they are way ahead of Obama in cabinet selections already. I have never seen such efficient and effective disarray before.
