US Attorney Rachael Rollins Resigns Amid Ethics Probes

Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins will resign following a Justice Department inspector general investigation into her appearance at a political fundraiser and other potential ethics issues. Rollins' attorney said she will submit a letter of resignation to President Joe Biden by close of business Friday. The resignation of a U.S. attorney amid ethics concerns is rare, and Rollins was a controversial pick for the job. She was the first woman of color to serve as a district attorney in Massachusetts and the first Black woman to become U.S. attorney for the state.
