WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate Robert Duncan of Kentucky to serve as the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky:

“I congratulate Robert Duncan of Lexington on his nomination to be United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Through his time as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Robert has become a leader in the law enforcement community, particularly in the prosecution of drug crimes. President Trump made another strong choice by nominating Robert to serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and I look forward to the Senate confirming his nomination.”

‘The time has come to fix this so we can help our economy grow and help the individuals and families we represent realize their true potential. For families, we want to make their taxes simpler, fairer, and lower. For small businesses, we want to provide the conditions they need to form, invest, and grow. For all American businesses and their employees, we want to ensure they have the best chance to compete with foreign companies — and succeed. And we want a tax system that encourages American companies to bring jobs home again.’

‘I was pleased to hear the Democratic Leader reaffirm his interest in working with us now to clear more nominees before the conclusion of this work period. Many of these nominees have been held up for far too long, leaving the administration without a number of key officials at various agencies. I look forward to our Democratic colleagues working with us to finish up the FDA user fees legislation I mentioned earlier as well.’
