CNBC is reporting that U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement will serve as acting Attorney General once Alberto Gonzales leaves the Justice Department in mid-September.
Clement is already winning rave reviews from Rep. Roy Blunt, who praised his ties to former Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"As a former counsel to Sen. John Ashcroft, Paul has proven himself over the years to be in possession of a sophisticated and thoughtful legal mind," Blunt said in a news release. "And as the current solicitor general of the United States, he knows what it takes to be an effective advocate on behalf of the people of this country."
