President Donald Trump has dodged the confirmation processes for several top federal prosecutors across the country, often opting to install them via loopholes instead.

When interim U.S. Attorney for New Mexico Ryan Ellison’s 120-day term ended, district judges in the area declined to extend his stay in the office. To keep him in the job, the Trump administration on Friday made him “acting” head of the office, which grants him 210 more days to lead it.
