Ted Cruz has told confidants he’s interested in serving as attorney general in the Trump administration, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.
Speculation that the Texas senator could become attorney general began Tuesday after Cruz met President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Cruz also wandered into the office of Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon for an impromptu meeting, according to a source close to Bannon.
Cruz may not be the frontrunner for the job, which is a target for others in Trump’s orbit — including Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), an early supporter of the businessman. Cruz, in contrast, memorably fought with Trump while finishing second in the GOP primary.

We have plenty of unnamed sources for Trump transition team.
Please, God, no.
I’m convinced if Cruz gets the job, Trump will ultimately find a way to fire him, leaving Cruz with nothing. Trump wants to destroy him. And Cruz’s colleagues want him out of the Senate. Cruz should not under any circumstances trust Trump.
