WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Immigration lawyer James McHenry will serve as acting U.S. attorney until the Senate confirms President Donald Trump’s pick, Pam Bondi, a Justice Department official said on Monday.

Trump’s former defense attorney Emil Bove will serve as acting deputy attorney general, the official said.

(This story has been corrected to say that Emil Bove was appointed Acting Deputy Attorney General, not Acting Attorney General, in paragraph 2.)
