Erik Siebert, the US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, informed staff of his resignation via email according to multiple media reports.
Siebert had been under pressure to prosecute former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Leticia James.
Siebert recently told Justice Department leadership he was declining to prosecute Comey over allegations of lying to Congress.
Comey was fired while leading a probe into possible Trump campaign collusion with Moscow during the 2016 presidential election.
James, as New York’s state prosecutor, brought a 464 million dollar case against Trump alleging unlawful wealth inflation.
James has been accused by Trump ally Bill Pulte of falsifying documents on mortgage applications along with other Democratic officials.
Siebert graduated from Virginia Military Institute and previously served as a Washington police officer.
He led a team of approximately 300 prosecutors in a jurisdiction that often handles major national security cases. – AFP
