"President Trump has tapped Daniel Jorjani to serve as the Interior Department's top lawyer, a slot that's been vacant for more than two years.

If confirmed, Jorjani will be the agency's first solicitor since January 2017.

He's already Interior's de facto chief legal official, working as principal deputy solicitor. In that role, he has taken on many responsibilities typically reserved for the solicitor, managing more than 300 lawyers and guiding the department's litigation strategy and legal interpretations for policy decisions."
