Durbin, Duckworth pick committee to screen U S attorney candidates

A retired judge from Taylorville, a civil rights lawyer from Peoria and a former defense lawyer from Springfield will be among citizens who will help Illinois’ U.S. senators recommend candidates to become the next U.S. attorney and marshal for the Central District of Illinois.  A six-member screening committee appointed by Sens. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth will review candidate applications and advise the Democratic senators on the candidates’ qualifications, according to a news release.  Applicants must submit cover letters, resumes and a questionnaire by May 3. The senators will make recommendations to President Joe Biden, and Biden will submit nominations to the U.S. Senate for votes of the Senate Judiciary and full Senate. A timeline for approval hasn’t been set. 

Acting U S attorney for central Illinois chosen

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A retired Army lieutenant colonel and top prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in central Illinois has been named acting U.S. attorney. Douglas J. Quivey began work last week after the resignation in February of John Milhiser, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump. Republican congressmen had asked the Biden administration to retain Milhiser until a permanent replacement was tabbed. Democratic lawmakers asked the same for John Lausch, the U.S. attorney in northern Illinois . The White House announced last week that Lausch would remain in his post for the immediate future.
