President Barack Obama has nominated Assistant U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson to be U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho.
The White House announced Olson’s nomination Wednesday, saying she would be resolute in the pursuit of justice and serve Idaho with distinction.
Olson has been with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Idaho since 1997, and became senior litigation counsel in 2006.
If confirmed by the Senate, Olson would replace Tom Moss, who announced his retirement two years ago but has continued to serve until his successor is found. (AP)
