Rachael Rollins, the George Soros-backed “progressive” U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, has resigned in disgrace.
The Democrat prosecutor stepped down ahead of the release of the monthslong ethics investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Rollins, who was nominated by Democrat President Joe Biden in 2021, was a controversial figure from the start.
She is a vocal supporter of progressive criminal justice reform and her policies have been widely criticized by law enforcement officials and conservatives.
In a statement issued by her attorney Michael Bromwich, he shared Rollins was stepping down as “her presence has become a distraction.”
Rollins’ resignation is a major victory for law enforcement officials who have been critical of her progressive policies.
It is also a setback for the Biden administration, which has been trying to promote progressive criminal justice reform.
Rollins is the fifth Soros-backed rogue prosecutor who was voted out of office, declined to run for reelection, or resigned in disgrace
