Loretta Lynch, “the top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, has emerged as a leading contender to be the next attorney general, officials close to the process said, as President Obama looks outside his inner circle to fill a crucial post,” the New York Times reports.
“The White House declined to comment on whether Mr. Obama would tap Ms. Lynch, who if chosen and confirmed would be the first African-American woman to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official. She would replace Eric H. Holder Jr., who is stepping down.”
CNN: “An announcement is expected in the coming days, though timing is complicated by the president’s plans to travel to Asia this weekend.”
