Bloomberg Reporter: Ted Cruz Under Consideration for Attorney General

tedcruz4Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is under consideration for attorney general in Donald Trump’s administration, a Bloomberg News reporter tweeted Tuesday night.

Cruz was seen earlier in the day visiting Trump Tower in Manhattan, where Trump’s transition team is talking about Cabinet level positions.

Trump himself tweeted about 30 minutes after Jacobs announced her “scoop,” saying he alone knows who will get job offers.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Trump supporter after dropping out of the race, said a Cruz hire would be “a big shock for me,” considering the acrimony between Trump and Cruz during the GOP nomination process.

“We all ran together, but there was never a group hug that involved Ted Cruz,” Huckabee said on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File.”

“I would be very surprised if that was the case,” he said, but admitted, “This election has been made of surprises.”

Cruz is not well-liked by his Senate colleagues on either side of the aisle, so if he is nominated, he might get 100 percent confirmation support, Huckabee said, “because he wouldn’t be in the Senate, and they haven’t been that happy with him being there.”
