Ms. Lynch, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, was confirmed 56 to 43, with 10 US Republicans voting for her.
In March, 2015, US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would delay a vote on the nomination of Loretta Lynch to become the next US Attorney General until the Senate could agree on the anti-trafficking legislation — a move that the White House called an “unconscionable delay.”
