This is unverified. According to the American Prospect, President Trump is reportedly going to choose Crystal Carey [bio here], a former NLRB official from 2009 to 2018 and current partner with the management-side law firm Morgan Lewis, as General Counsel for the National Labor Relations Board.
From the American Prospect:
Carey, who is in her early forties, has been at Morgan Lewis since leaving the NLRB in 2018, mostly as a trial attorney. She became a partner last October. While union sources had heard that Carey’s name was “in the mix” for the critical NLRB general counsel position, she is not a high-profile person in the labor world.
It is unclear when the announcement will formally be made. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
An noted above, this is unverified. Other than the American Prospect, there are currently no other media outlets reporting this, nor is there anything on the White House website as of this evening.
