President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon met with Judge Amy Coney Barrett at the White House, Breitbart News can confirm.
Barrett, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, continues to be a front-runner on Trump’s shortlist for the Supreme Court.
Trump previously met with Barrett as he prepared to replace Justice Antonin Scalia but ended up selecting Brett Kavanaugh instead.
In 2019, Axios reported that Trump was “saving†Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday.
When reporters asked Trump about Barrett on Saturday as he left the White House, Trump replied only, “She’s very highly respected. I can say that.â€
Barrett clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia over 20 years ago and has the legal philosophy of a textual originalist similar to that of Scalia.
At age 48, Barrett is a Roman Catholic and the mother of seven children, including two adopted children from Haiti.
