A panel of federal judges in Albany, New York, has declined to appoint President Trump’s interim U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York to a permanent position. The announcement means the 120-day interim appointment of John A. Sarcone III will expire unless Trump nominates him again. During his brief tenure, Sarcone retaliated against the Albany Times Union for reporting that he listed a boarded-up residence as his home address; and accused an undocumented immigrant of trying to kill him, a claim refuted by surveillance video.
