# Daniel Burrows **Status: stub — expand.** **Assistant Attorney General for the [[Office of Legal Policy]]**, confirmed 52–46 on **February 10, 2026** and appointed three days later. OLP is the [[Department of Justice]] component that runs the Department's side of judicial nominations — questionnaire preparation, record vetting, and confirmation management. He previously served in the White House as a deputy assistant to the President and deputy staff secretary, and before that as chief deputy attorney general of Kansas. The seat had been vacant since **Aaron Reitz**, confirmed March 26, 2025, resigned in June 2025 to run for Texas attorney general — leaving the Department's nominations shop without a Senate-confirmed head for roughly eight months of the term's heaviest confirmation period.
