Herdman - currently the US attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, would replace interim US attorney for Washington, Timothy Shea - whose appointment may not exceed 120 days by law and will expire next month, according to The Hill. Herdman's appointment requires Senate approval. If rejected, the DC District Court will appoint a new interim US attorney until the position is eventually filled. He was confirmed in 2017 by voice vote for his current position.
Shea, meanwhile, has attracted controversy for his involvement in the DOJ's request to drop charges against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, as well as seek a lighter sentence for Stone.
