State Republicans say Sigal Chattah nominated for Nevada U.S. Attorney post

Republican attorney and Nevada RNC Committeewoman Sigal Chattah has reportedly been named interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, effective April 1, elevating her to the top federal prosecutorial office in Nevada.
The U.S. Attorney position became vacant after Jason Frierson, nominated by President Joe Biden, resigned in January.
Chattah, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump and former candidate for Nevada Attorney General, has a long history of filing lawsuits challenging Nevada's election laws and has no prosecutorial experience.
Chattah told the Las Vegas Review-Journal her goals include administrating justice equally, ensuring public safety, and preventing public corruption, while the Nevada GOP stated she will rigorously advocate for the President's priorities and investigate corruption.
Nevada's Democratic senators, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, have strongly condemned Chattah's appointment, with Rosen vowing to block any permanent nomination due to Chattah's past controversial statements, including racist remarks and threats of violence, setting up a potential clash with the Trump administration, although the White House has not yet made a formal announcement.
