Numerous sources are reporting that the nomination of Talley, whom the American Bar Association rated as “unanimously unqualified” is not moving forward. From the NPR report:
The nomination of Brett Talley, the Justice Department official in line for a lifetime judicial appointment, “will not be moving forward,” a Trump administration official told NPR on Wednesday.
Talley had been rated “unanimously unqualified” for the post by the American Bar Association this year after an evaluation that questioned his experience. Talley had never argued a case, or even a motion, in federal court, he testified.
