Who's latest name to join mix for U.S. Attorney General?

As president-elect Donald J. Trump starts to fill out his Cabinet, a new name has emerged in the swirl of speculation of who will serve as Attorney General — a role that could prove heavily influential in the future of the U.S. cannabis industry and marijuana legalization movements.

Trump is weighing the selection of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas, to head the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a Bloomberg report that cited an unnamed person familiar with the situation. Cruz, who was unsuccessful in a bid to secure the Republican nomination for president, met with Trump on Tuesday in New York, according to numerous media outlets, including the Dallas Morning-News.
