President Donald J. Trump announced three federal judicial nominations on Truth Social on Tuesday and called on the Senate to confirm what he said were 161 pending nominations, including 25 federal judges.

He said he was pleased to nominate Grayson Lambert to the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. Trump wrote that Lambert is chief legal counsel to Gov. Henry McMaster, previously a law-firm partner, and a former clerk to Judge Dennis Shedd of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. “Grayson will be an excellent addition to the Federal Bench in South Carolina,” the president wrote.

He nominated Elliot Gaiser to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Trump said Gaiser is assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and previously was solicitor general of Ohio, and that he had clerked for Justice Samuel Alito, Judge Neomi Rao of the D.C. Circuit, and Judge Edith Jones of the Fifth Circuit. “Texas will appreciate having such a talented and intelligent Judge on their Federal Bench,” Trump wrote.

He nominated James Sullivan, a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas, to the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Trump said Sullivan previously served as general counsel to Gov. Greg Abbott and as assistant solicitor general of Texas, and that Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn “highly recommend him.” The president called him “an incredible jurist and lawyer.”

In a separate post early Tuesday, Trump wrote: “Very important for the U.S. Senate to confirm all of our pending 161 Nominations, including 25 Federal Judges.”
