The Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference is reserving an official opinion about the Republican-led ouster push against Shelby County District Attorney General Steve Mulroy.
The body, which serves as a liaison between the Tennessee General Assembly and state district attorneys, will instead wait until state Sen. Brent Taylor, who has spearheaded the move, files an official resolution.
“At this point, it is impossible to know what specific issues or allegations may be alleged in Sen. Taylor’s proposed resolution until it is made known. Until such a resolution is filed and the conference has an opportunity to read, review and analyze the same, we reserve comment,” Conference President Bryant Dunaway said in an email to The Daily Memphian.
At least one member of the body has come out against the Mulroy ouster push.
