CONFLICT OF INTEREST/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/TRUMP PEOPLE/KELLYANNE CONWAY/GEORGE CONWAY: “President Trump is expected to nominate the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, to run the Justice Department’s civil division, two sources familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.
If confirmed by the Senate, George Conway would lead an office that would handle legal challenges to major Trump administration initiatives, such as the controversial travel ban.
The Wall Street Journal first reported that Conway — a corporate lawyer — was expected to be tapped for the position. Conway had previously been considered for the post of US solicitor general, according to sources who spoke to CNN in December.”
