WASHINGTON — The way-too slow process of confirming newly minted U.S. Attorneys around the country continued on Thursday.
The full Senate confirmed Carmen M. Ortiz for U.S. Attorney in Massachusetts, Ed Tarver for the Southern District in Georgia and Benjamin Wagner for the eastern District of California, the news website Main Justice reported.
To date, 23 U.S. Attorneys have been confirmed, according to Main Justice. There are 93 U.S. Attorney jobs in the nation.
The administration could stand to step up the process a little.
