Senate Confirms Robert Wier of Kentucky to be U.S. District Judge

Statement

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) commented today following the Senate confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominee, Magistrate Judge Robert Wier of Kentucky, to serve on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky:

"Judge Wier's sterling credentials and the support he enjoys from the legal community suggest he'll excel on the federal bench. He graduated at the top of his class at the University of Kentucky College of Law, followed by a successful career in private practice. In 2006, he became a magistrate judge. In 2014, his colleagues unanimously re-appointed him to a second term. Judge Wier has the intellect, skill, and experience to take on this role and I proudly voted to confirm him."
