Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Could Become Donald Trump’s Top Supreme Court Lawyer
The solicitor general is the country’s top appellate attorney.
George Conway, the husband of Donald Trump’s top adviser Kellyanne Conway, is reportedly being considered for the post of U.S. solicitor general, the federal government’s lead lawyer before the Supreme Court.
CNN also reported that George Conway would accept the job if selected for the post, and that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the president-elect’s choice for attorney general, has interviewed him. The news of Conway’s possible nomination was first reported by Bloomberg.
If nominated and confirmed, Conway would defend the Trump administration’s positions before the nation’s high court and also decide what to do with top litigation priorities for the Obama administration in lower courts ― including pending disputes over the Affordable Care Act, transgender rights and immigration.
Conway is a partner at a top New York law firm, where he has worked for nearly 30 years and has garnered extensive litigation and appellate experience. After graduating from Yale Law School, he clerked for a federal appeals judge in Manhattan.
He has argued once before the Supreme Court, in a 2010 securities case, but his most high-profile work before the justices may be his involvement in the Paula Jones case against then-President Bill Clinton.

Wow, cronyism and nepotism abound in the Trump Administration. All in the family.
Yes, Trump continues to select the most qualified people he can find.
The most qualified that have ties to Russia, a billionaire or is related to someone else he's hired.
and only has 30 years experience?
How dare he?
No one has experience except family members, billionaires or Russian operatives!!
Every person he chooses the only response is "they're smart" or "they have experience in stuff" Rousing endorsements!
All his picks arte very qualified. They are not at all like Obama's choices.
