Former nemesis Ted Cruz may be on President-elect Trump's list of potential attorney general nominees.

Bloomberg News cited an unnamed source in its short report about the Texas senator, and Jennifer Jacobs, a Bloomberg political reporter, tweeted the "scoop" on Tuesday night.

The Associated Press reported that Cruz attended meetings at Trump Tower in New York, but he declined to provide details of what he discussed with Trump and his team.

Cruz told reporters in New York that the "election was a mandate for change" and it's now time for Republicans to deliver on their conservative agenda.

Meanwhile, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a former GOP presidential candidate who once joked about Cruz being murdered, suggested that Trump nominate Cruz to the Supreme Court, according to the Huffington Post on Tuesday night.

This isn't a completely new idea. Former GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson reportedly proposed in May that Cruz becomes Tump's attorney general, and then be nominated to the Supreme Court.

Asked whether he wants to be considered for a post in the Trump administration, the AP says, Cruz said only that he looks forward to working closely with Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence "to repeal Obamacare" and confirm "a strong, conservative Supreme Court justice."

Cruz and Trump's roller-coaster relationship has made headlines this year.

Trump and Cruz engaged in a series of personal attacks during the campaign. Trump called Cruz "Lyin' Ted" during the brutal primaries, and Cruz, in turn, called Trump "utterly amoral" and a "pathological liar."

Cruz famously refused to endorse Trump at the GOP convention in Cleveland, but later pledged his support to the businessman after Trump was formally named the Republican nominee.
