President Donald Trump has nominated a slew of prospective federal prosecutors to fill top US attorney seats across the nation, but personally met with one prior to her selection in June -- a move some former Justice Department and White House sources say sharply departs from past practice and more generally is at odds with the understood custom of insulating US attorneys from political influence.

Jessie Liu, the current deputy general counsel for the Treasury Department who Trump tapped to be the next US attorney for the District of Columbia, disclosed in her responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee that she met with the President as part of her interview process.
"I attended formal interviews at the Department of Justice, including with the attorney general," Liu wrote in the Senate submission obtained by CNN. "I also interviewed with representatives of the White House Counsel's Office and then met the President with the White House counsel."
Liu added that she did not keep "detailed records" of her nominee selection process, but stated that &quot n)o one has asked me to commit that I will be loyal to the President or the Attorney General, and I have not made such a commitment."
Of the first seven US attorney nominees that Trump selected in June, only Liu said that she met with Trump. Other nominees described only meeting with Justice Department officials, such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, in their submissions.
Liu was unreachable by phone and email, and the Justice Department declined to make her available for an interview.

1. US attorney for the District of Columbia has jurisdiction over Trump in DC, not?

5. 'The United States Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia is unique

among U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the size and scope of its work. It serves as both the local and the federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital. On the local side, these prosecutions extend from misdemeanor drug possession cases to murders. On the federal side, these prosecutions extend from child pornography to gangs to financial fraud to terrorism. In both roles, the Office is committed to being responsive and accountable to the citizens of the District of Columbia.

The Office also enforces the law and defends the interests of the United States in civil suits brought in the district. Its location in the seat of the federal government gives it responsibility for many cases of national importance, including far-reaching challenges to federal policies and employment practices.'>>>
