Leading federal prosecutor in Connecticut, John Durham, announced his resignation on Friday. In May 2019, then Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham to investigate possible criminal offenses in Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which former President Donald Trump had long called for as an unconstitutional witch hunt. . He has not yet released his report. Durham wrote in his resignation, “It was a tremendous honor to serve as a United States Attorney and a career promoter before that, and I will be sorely missed.” He served in the position for three years and previously as a federal prosecutor in Connecticut for more than three decades. Earlier this month, President Joe Biden asked Trump-appointed United States attorneys to resign so that his own government could fill the posts.
