Aber resigned as United States attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia on January 20, 2025. Did some other event on that date have anything to do with her resignation?

Trump’s extortion and interference in Columbia University is disgusting. Columbia’s concession to Trump’s demands is disappointing.

The first thought I had when I read the news of the tragic accident at DCA was that Trump will find a way to blame Biden for it. A couple of hours later Trump was on TV—blaming Biden and Pete Buttigieg and DEI for the accident. The vindictive POTUS can’t stop himself from making a fool of himself.
