President Trump will meet Saturday with evangelical faith leaders, hours before he is expected to announce that he is nominating Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. TRUMP TO NOMINATE AMY CONEY BARRETT TO SUPREME COURT: SOURCESMultiple sources have told Fox News that Trump has settled on Barrett and is expected to announce her nomination at 5 p.m ET. Barrett’s religious faith is expected to be at the core of what could be a grueling confirmation battle in the Senate. Should Barrett, 48, get confirmed, it would mark a seismic shift in the high court, replacing the court’s staunchest liberal with a conservative. Those concerns emerged in Barrett's confirmation hearing for the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in 2017.
