President Donald Trump is planning to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett, 48, of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to multiple media reports Friday afternoon.
According to The New York Times, “people close to the process who asked not to be identified disclosing the decision in advance” said that Trump will announce Barrett as his decision on Saturday. The NY Times offered the following caveat: “As they often do, aides cautioned that Mr. Trump sometimes upends his own plans. But he is not known to have interviewed any other candidates for the post.”
