Former Senator Joe Lieberman is no longer being considered for the post of FBI director, according to reports.
The White House is believed to be continuing its search to replace James Comey, who was fired by President Trump earlier this month.
Mr Lieberman, who represented Connecticut in the Senate as a Democrat and is now an independent, was tipped as the frontrunner for the top law enforcement job.
According to the Washington Post, a possible reason for the rethink was Mr Lieberman’s work as senior counsel at Marc Kasowitz law firm.
