Tom Benning reports from D.C.:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's first choice for a Texas federal prosecutor withdrew from consideration Thursday after lengthy delays in the appointment process.
John B. Stevens Jr., a state judge in Beaumont, was the president's pick to oversee prosecutions in Texas' Eastern District, which stretches from Plano and Tyler to the Gulf Coast. Stevens said the protracted confirmation process and his impending November re-election forced him to re-evaluate.
