Yates, Becerra eyed for possible Biden administration roles: sources

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra are being eyed for possible top cabinet positions in President-elect Joe Biden's administration, said two sources familiar with the discussions.

Yates, who currently serves on the advisory board to Biden's transition team, is "no doubt" being considered as a candidate to become the country's next Attorney General, said one of the two, who asked to remain anonymous because no decision has been reached.

Republican President Donald Trump fired Yates early in his term, after she defied the White House by refusing to defend travel restrictions targeting seven Muslim-majority nations.

Becerra is a possible choice for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said both sources, one of whom is a Democratic strategist close to Biden's transition team. Becerra is seen as someone who could help spearhead efforts to reunite the migrant children who were separated from their parents, the same person said.

1. I'd kinda like to see Preet get AG

But Sally Yates would be just as good. Bottom line is I want to someone trump fucked get the job. Not so much that they'd go after trump and his underlings, but it would drive trump absolutely crazy wondering if and when they're coming after his criminal ass.
