Aileen Cannon 's name appears on a document titled " Transition Planning: Legal Principals " The document lists potential staffing for the White House counsel's office, the Department of Justice , the FBI , and U.S. attorneys' offices.

Cannon dismissed the case on the first day of the Republican National Convention in July , on the grounds that the special counsel's appointment as special counsel overseeing the case was unconstitutional.

Vice President Kamala Harris' transition spokesperson denies any such compiling or narrowing of lists as "pure fiction" Sources close to the process say several names have surfaced in preliminary discussions as potential candidates for attorney general.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper , former Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams have also surfaced.
