BOSTON — Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins will resign following a monthslong investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general into her appearance at a political fundraiser and other potential ethics issues, her attorney said Tuesday.
“The work of the office and the Department of Justice is far too important to be overshadowed by anything else,” Bromwich said. 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. The inspector general’s office generally investigates allegations of fraud, abuse or violation of other Justice Department policies.
The inspector general’s office copied the phone contents of some employees in Rollins’ office as part of their probe into her possible use of her personal phone for Justice Department business, one person familiar with the matter told the AP last year.
