DOJ watchdog report reveals US attorney in Massachusetts attempted to sway DA election.

The Justice Department's internal watchdog found that U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins of Massachusetts tried to influence the outcome of a race for Boston's district attorney by leaking information aimed at sabotaging the campaign of her preferred candidate's rival. Rollins also violated the Hatch Act, which limits political activity by government workers, according to a separate investigation by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Rollins has resigned, and her misconduct was described as the most scathing public condemnation in recent years of a U.S. attorney.
