Trump Plans to Appoint James McDonald as US Attorney for Southern District of New York

US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday his intention to appoint James McDonald, one of his lawyers, as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. This federal prosecutor's office is responsible for managing many prominent cases related to Wall Street.

McDonald is expected to replace Jay Clayton in the role. Clayton was previously nominated by President Trump to serve as the US director of national intelligence less than two weeks after a congressional backlash against his interim appointee, housing official Bill Pulte. Trump had tapped Pulte after Tulsi Gabbard.

According to the South China Morning Post, this appointment is part of the ongoing changes in key federal positions.
