President Trump plans to nominate D.C. U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu as the Justice Department’s No. 3 official, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The nomination comes after a year in which his administration failed to persuade several candidates to take on the challenging position, the publication writes.
The No. 3 post was vacated in February 201 when Rachel Brand left to take a position as a lawyer for Walmart.
Liu was confirmed as U.S. Attorney in September 2017.
