There is a Senate-confirmed head of the Justice Department's Civil Division.

Senators voted 72-23 to approve Joseph “Jody” Hunt on Tuesday as the assistant attorney general of the Civil Division, the DOJ's largest litigating division. Hunt will oversee the staff of over 1,000 lawyers representing federal agencies and administrative policies in civil litigation.

Hunt was tapped by President Donald Trump to head the division nearly a year ago. A career Justice Department attorney, he previously served as chief of staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions from January to September 2017, when he was nominated. Before that, he was director of the Civil Division's Federal Programs Branch, a job he assumed in 2002.
