In a series of posts on Truth Social Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump announced multiple judicial nominees.
According to the Daily Caller, there are currently 46 judicial appointments to be made.
Below are the five announcements Trump posted Tuesday:
It is my honor to nominate Joshua Divine to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Missouri. Joshua has devoutly served the Great State of Missouri, as the State’s Solicitor General and, previously, as Chief Counsel to Senator Josh Hawley, a true Patriot. A former Clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Joshua knows what is required to protect the Rule of Law and Constitutional Rights for the Great People of Missouri. We must have Constitutionalist Judges now, more than EVER BEFORE. Congratulations Joshua!
I am proud to announce my nomination of Zachary Bluestone to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Zack is a True Legal Warrior. He is currently Appellate Chief and Violent Crimes Prosecutor in the United States Attorney’s Office in St. Louis, and has spent his career putting terrible, violent Criminals behind bars, and defending our Constitution. Zack is a former Deputy Solicitor General, with degrees from Georgetown, Oxford, and Harvard. He is tough, smart, and LOVES our Great Country. I know Zack will be a phenomenal Judge dedicated to Law and Order. Congratulations Zack!
I am honored to nominate Maria Lanahan to serve as Judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Maria is a true Patriot, who currently serves as the Principal Deputy Solicitor General in Missouri, handling many High Stakes Cases. Maria has degrees from Gonzaga (where, I am told, she was also an incredible Athlete!), and the University of Chicago, one of the best Law Schools in the World. Maria is a very Smart and Talented Lawyer, and will do GREAT work in this new role. Congratulations Maria!
I am pleased to nominate Cristian Stevens, a Great Patriot, to serve on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Cristian is currently a Judge on the Missouri Court of Appeals, previously serving as First Assistant Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General of the Criminal Division of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, and also as Assistant U.S. Attorney in St. Louis, taking on Violent Criminals, and protecting the Rule of Law. Missouri will be very safe with Cristian in the District Court. Thank you Cristian, and congratulations!
I am proud to nominate Edward Aloysius O’Connell to serve as Associate Judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Eddie will help fix Violent Crime in the City by restoring the RULE OF LAW to Washington, D.C. Eddie served for nearly two decades as a Tough on Crime Prosecutor for the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, where he prosecuted many Horrific Crimes, including Homicides, Domestic Violence, Organized Crime, Narcotics Offenses, and more. D.C. could, and should, be a wonderful place, if political hacks would stop making such terrible decisions. I know Eddie will help make everyone much safer. Congratulations Eddie!
