President Trump is expected to reveal 10 of his picks for lower federal courts on Monday — marking the first of many such announcements, a report says.

A senior White House official told The New York Times that Trump would be announcing his conservative nominees on a regular basis, with the first round being made this week.

There are currently more than 120 openings on the lower federal courts.

According to the official, Trump will be nominating several judges from his previous list of potential Supreme Court justices.

Justice Joan L. Karen, of Michigan, and Justice David R. Stars, of Minnesota, are expected to be nominated to a pair of federal circuit court positions.

Other nominees will include Justice Scalia’s former law clerk, Amy Coney Barrett, to the Seventh Circuit in Chicago and Kevin C. Newsom, a lawyer from Alabama who served as the state’s solicitor general and law clerk to Justice David H. Souter, to the 11th Circuit in Atlanta.
