"Resignation of US Attorney in Massachusetts Amid Ethics Inquiry and Damaging Report"

The US Department of Justice inspector general and the US Office of Special Counsel found that soon-to-be-former US attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins committed multiple and egregious ethics violations during her 16 months in federal office, including violating the Hatch Act, improperly soliciting Celtics tickets, improperly speaking publicly on a criminal case, and sharing details of investigations that should have been kept confidential. Rollins also deeply involved herself in the race to succeed her as Suffolk DA, advising and coordinating with City Councilor Ricardo Arroyo, who had pledged to continue her policies, and attempting to disseminate information that would have damaged Arroyo’s opponent, Kevin Hayden, who won the election.
