President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate James M. McDonald as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to replace Jay Clayton, who Trump nominated this week for the role of director of national intelligence. McDonald, who is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, is currently a litigation partner at the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm and was a one-time personal attorney to Trump after he was brought on to handle the appeal of Trump's Manhattan hush money conviction, which is still pending.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he intends to nominate James M. McDonald, a former federal prosecutor who later served on Trump’s criminal defense team, to succeed Jay Clayton as the U.S. attorney for the powerful Southern District of New York. McDonald’s prospective nomination to the high-profile prosecutorial role — which would require Senate confirmation — follows Trump’s decision this week to nominate Clayton to serve as the next director of national intelligence. If confirmed, McDonald will lead an office that has jurisdiction over Wall Street, giving it broad influence over global finance.
