Massachusetts US Attorney Rachael Rollins to Resign Amid DOJ Ethics Probe

Rachael Rollins, the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, will resign following a Justice Department ethics investigation into her appearance at a political fundraiser and other matters. Rollins' attorney said that she intends to submit her letter of resignation to President Joe Biden by the close of business Friday. Rollins was the first Black woman to serve as U.S. attorney for Massachusetts and faced scrutiny after attending a Democratic National Committee fundraiser featuring first lady Jill Biden. The investigation expanded to other areas, including the use of her personal phone for business.
