Senate Republicans and Democrats on Thursday signaled approval of President Trump’s rumored choice of William P. Barr, a former Bush administration official, to serve as the next U.S. attorney general.

“I think he’s the kind of person that could get confirmed,” said Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas. Press reports said Thursday that Trump is leaning toward Barr, who was President George H.W. Bush’s attorney general from 1991-1993.
