White House Rejects Meese Aftermath of Top DOJ Posts
The White House rejected Edwin Meese III's choice to lead the Justice Department's criminal division and cut short the bid to fill key posts. Meese weighed James Knapp and Arlin Adams for two top roles as officials urged caution amid resignations and a Latin America trip. Adams consulted with Schnader partners and indicated a struggle to leave his firm quickly, raising doubts about his acceptance. The administration signaled a press conference next week to announce replacements while avoiding new controversy.
