Two US district judges have "unretired" from their seats, effectively denying President-elect Donald Trump the opportunity to replace them.

Judge Algenon Marbley and Judge Max Cogburn told the White House last month that they had rescinded their plans to step down.

McConnell : "It's hard to conclude that this is anything other than open partisanship".

McConnell suggested that the Justice Department could seek the recusal of those judges if cases involving the incoming administration landed in their courts.

He warned that those kinds of recusal requests, as well as ethics complaints, would come the way of the appellate judges if they follow Marbley and Cogburn ’s example.

Neither Wynn nor Stranch had indicated a set date on which they would step aside.
