He said he had no family members working in government when asked about it.
That's called a lie.
If you can't see the problem of having a federal judge who is married to a WH lawyer, you're not very bright. It is a huge conflict of interest, since the judicial branch is supposed to keep the executive branch in check, to prevent a dictatorship. Its called balance of powers. Did you flunk out of Government 101?

A senior white house counsel might legally be considered NOT in government, they probably work for a law firm, who then does business with the government. Their employer would be the law firm.. not the taxpayer
So it turns out, the 36 year old lawyer picked for a federal judiciary position, who was unanimously rejected by the Bar Association as unqualified and who has such a right-wing bias he's unfit for the judiciary, was picked and approved by Trump/Republicans, because he's married to a senior White House Counsel lawyer.
This is so astronomically corrupt. Say what you want about Obama, but his Administration was never this openly corrupt and criminal. This isn't some limited administration position, it's a life-time term to a federal court, and people getting approved are only getting it because of their right-wing extremism and ties to the White House.
So disgusting. Republicans are truly the most corrupt people on the planet.
How can this be, yet we have so many Left wing judges, who are actually usurping the Presidents Constitutional authority? They are unfit for the judiciary, and should be removed from office.
If you want to talk about corruption, look no further than the last administration, which may be the most corrupt in American history! But you choose to ignore that.
Corruption and criminality? What else is new? Just business as usual in the DC swamp.
A corrupt disbarred lawyer is a perfect match for the orange turd administration. Not only that, but the crook has zero experience as a judge and has tried no cases in court. Again, a match made in hell.
Sorry. Don't have a NYT subscription. Who you are married to isn't a secret or criminal. Anyone, including you or I, can find out that info using Google. If they don't want him, don't vote for him.
Attorney General Robert Kennedy was JFK's brother. Was the Kennedy administration corrupt because of it?
Bingo!
I have pointed that out before, but the Leftists just ignore that little fact. They like their own "facts" better, and they make up rules of their own.
