U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu has withdrawn her name from consideration for associate attorney general, the third-highest office in the Justice Department. However, the person said Liu did sign a letter in support of Alito, a fellow alumnus of Yale Law School. She has been an outstanding United States attorney and would have made an outstanding associate attorney general. She later served as deputy chief of staff for the Justice Department's national security division, a counsel to the deputy attorney general and as a deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's civil rights division. As associate attorney general, Liu would have been responsible for overseeing the department's civil litigation.
