U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding President Donald Trump's intent to nominate Judge Amul Thapar of Kentucky to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit:
"I applaud the President for announcing his intent to nominate my friend, Judge Amul Thapar, to serve on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Throughout his already impressive career of public service, Amul has shown an incredible intellect and an unshakable dedication to the law. He has earned the respect of his colleagues, and I know that he will bring to the Sixth Circuit the same wisdom, fairness, and ability that he has shown on the District Court. President Trump made an outstanding choice and I look forward to the Senate's confirmation of Judge Thapar."
