Legal Times:
Jeffrey Taylor has withdrawn his nomination from the Senate to be confirmed as the District’s U.S. attorney, but he will continue to head the office at the request of the attorney general, he said.
Here's an e-mailed statement from Taylor:
For nearly two years, I have had the distinct privilege to serve as the interim Unites States Attorney for the District of Columbia. At my request, the President has withdrawn my nomination to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. My nomination has been pending in the United States Senate since February 27, 2007, and it does not appear that the Senate will vote on my nomination. This action preserves my status as a career Assistant United States Attorney, a position in which I have been honored to serve since 1995. At the request of the Attorney General, I will continue to serve as the interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and I look forward to continuing to lead the outstanding men and women of that office.
