The Justice Department said it supports the appointment of Dearie or either of the two candidates it proposed, but opposed Huck Jr. because he "does not appear to have similar experience" in presiding over federal criminal and civil cases.
Trump's attorneys opposed both of the Justice Department's picks – Barbara Jones, who served on the federal bench in Manhattan, and Thomas Griffith, a former federal appeals court jurist in the District of Columbia.
