It's Official: Stanton Named New U.S. Attorney
Posted By Jackson Baker on Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 10:52 AM
- Ed Stanton III
Stanton, a lawyer for FedEx, had also served as an assistant city attorney for Memphis. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress in the 9th District in 2006.
Notice of the appointment comes not quite a month after reports in the Flyer and elsewhere that Stanton was the apparent presidential designate. Official confirmation may have been delayed by complications arising from the prolonged investigation, now apparently terminated, of former Memphis mayor Willie Herenton, although other Justice Department appointments in Tennessee had also been withheld.
