WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump will
announce a nominee in the next couple of weeks to fill a vacancy
on the U.S. Supreme Court, the White House said on Monday.

“I think we’ll have a nomination within the next couple of
weeks. He continues to make that a priority of his,” White House
spokesman Sean Spicer said at a news briefing.

Earlier this month Trump said he would pick from among 20
candidates suggested by conservative legal groups to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of conservative Justice Antonin
Scalia in February last year.
