WASHINGTON — Four U.S. Attorney nominees moved one giant step closer Thursday to final confirmation by the Senate.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted the nominees out of committee by a voice vote.
The U.S. Attorney nominees included: Peter F. Neronha of Rhode Island; Daniel G. Bogden of Nevada, who had been fired while serving under the Bush administration; Dennis K. Burke of Arizona and Neil H. MacBride of the Eastern District of Virginia.
The committee is expected to vote Sept. 17 on nominees Paul Fishman of New Jersey and Jenny Durkan of Washington state.
