WASHINGTON — Kenneth Polite Jr. has passed his federal background checks as the sole recommendation for next U.S. attorney in New Orleans, and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said she is hopeful the president would formally nominate him by the end of the month. Landrieu in February recommended the 37-year-old New Orleans lawyer to serve as the next U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Polite, who also is a state civil service commissioner, would fill the void left by embattled former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, who resigned in December amid a scandal concerning two top prosecutors anonymously criticizing judges and defendants online.
