U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today after President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Judge Claria Horn Boom, Judge for the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky, to serve on the U.S. Sentencing Commission:

"President Trump made a brilliant selection of Judge Claria Horn Boom for the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Since she joined the federal bench, Judge Boom has worked diligently to uphold the rule of law for all who enter her courtroom. It's exactly what the Senate confirmed her to do.

"I'm proud a Kentuckian will help chart the future of our federal judiciary on this panel. Her perspective as a former federal prosecutor and now as a judge for both the Eastern and Western Districts will be an invaluable asset. I look forward to the Senate confirming Judge Boom's nomination to help promote fairness throughout our federal courts."
