Another Federal Judge Reverses Decision To Retire, Ruins Trump's Plans To Fill His Seat

HuffPost


WASHINGTON — For the third time since Donald Trump won the presidential election last month, a federal judge is canceling plans for retirement, effectively denying Trump the ability to fill that court seat with someone younger and more ideologically conservative.

“I write to advise that, after careful consideration, I have decided to continue in regular active service as a United States Circuit Judge for the Fourth Circuit,” U.S. appeals court judge James Wynn wrote to President Joe Biden on Friday.

“As a result of that decision, I respectfully withdraw my letter to you of January 5, 2024,” said Wynn. “I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Wynn is the first U.S. appeals court judge to rescind his resignation since Trump won, but the third federal judge to do so. The other two are North Carolina District Judge Max Cogburn, who is 73, and Ohio District Judge Algenon Marbley, who is 70. All are Democratic appointees, and all hold lifetime appointments.
