According to Fox News, President Donald Trump will announce at least five conservative nominees to federal appeals courts Monday.
On the list of those to be announced are Justice Joan Larsen from Michigan and Justice David Stras from Minnesota.
The move comes days after White House Counsel Don McGahn alluded to more judicial nominations that were in the works for various courts. McGahan said Trump was putting “finishing touches” and that people “would be amazed” by how the calibre and experience of nominees.
“The president is putting the finishing touches on a few folks and without getting too far ahead of ourselves you’re going to be amazed at the by ‘exceptionalness’ of them,” McGahn said. “I mean the qualifications are impeccable it is really going to be an amazing thing. It is an honor to be a part of it.”
Trump had previously threatened to break up the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit. He accused his opponents of his agenda of “judge shopping,” and told The Washington Examiner last month they “immediately run to the 9th Circuit.”
