Temer announced lawyer Grace Maria Fernandes Mendonca as his new attorney general, replacing Fabio Medina Osorio.
Temer became interim president in May when Dilma Rousseff, Brazil's first woman president, was suspended to face an impeachment trial on charges of taking unauthorised loans to mask a budget deficit.
He was sworn in as president on August 31 when Rousseff was convicted in the Senate, and will serve out the rest of her term to the end of 2018.
Temer immediately stoked controversy with his cabinet picks, naming a team consisting of 22 white men in a country known for its diversity.
He also caused outcry by eliminating the culture ministry -- a decision he has since reversed -- and naming several ministers implicated in corruption scandals, three of whom have been forced to resign.
