Top Justice Dept. nominee Aaron Reitz has social media trail suggesting fringe views on range of issues

The nominee for a top Justice Department job has left a digital trail of deleted social media posts that his critics say suggest fringe views on a number of issues, including an openness to defying court orders and acceptance of arranged marriages under certain circumstances.

In one deleted post verified by CBS News, Aaron Reitz, who has been nominated by President Trump to lead the department's Office of Legal Policy, commented on a March 2020 ruling by U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel temporarily blocking Texas from shuttering an abortion clinic during the COVID pandemic.  

"Judge Yeakel has made his decision," Reitz wrote on the social media site X. "Now let him enforce it."
