TEXAS (CSBDFW.COM) - President-elect Donald Trump is considering nominating Texas Senator Ted Cruz to serve as U.S. attorney general, according to Bloomberg Politics.

Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier sent CBS11 the following statement:

"Sen. Cruz is pleased to have the opportunity to meet with President-elect Trump in New York today. The American people issued a clear mandate to 'drain the swamp' in Washington, repeal Obamacare and start over with cost-effective, patient-centered health care reform, appoint constitutionalist judges to the Supreme Court, secure our southern border and enforce immigration laws, and enact policies that will create more good-paying jobs for the American people.  On behalf of the 27 million Texans he represents, the senator looks forward to assisting the Trump Administration in achieving these objectives."
