Trump names GOP attorney Sigal Chattah as interim U.S. attorney for Nevada
Sigal Chattah, a prominent Republican attorney and former candidate for state attorney general, has been named interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, elevating a staunch political supporter of President Donald Trump to the top federal prosecutorial office in the state.
In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Chattah said the Trump administration plans to formally send her nomination to the U.S. Senate, where she will need to be confirmed — over the objections of the state’s two Democratic senators, who lambasted Chattah and committed to opposing her. She did not return a call from The Nevada Independent.
Chattah told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that her goals for the office are to “administrate justice equally, to ensure that public safety is the utmost priority and to ensure that public corruption does not happen under this administration’s watch.”
The White House has not made an announcement about Chattah’s nomination as of Friday afternoon, but the Nevada Republican Party announced the news in a press release.
