Statement on the Nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney General of the U.S.

Timothy Head, Executive Director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, issued the following statement on President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement today nominating Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) for Attorney General of the United States. “There is no one in the country more qualified to lead the U.S. Department of Justice than Senator Sessions, as he has a distinguished record in the U.S. Senate as a member of the Judiciary Committee, as former Attorney General of the State of Alabama and former U.S. Attorney. American citizens will be safer, the Constitution will be better protected, and law enforcement will have a champion leading the Department of Justice. We look forward to working alongside President Trump, Vice-President Pence, Attorney General Sessions, Congressional leadership and the entire new cabinet to make our country a better place and ensure that the concerns of people of faith are upheld at the highest level of our government.”
