The top federal prosecutor overseeing criminal cases at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., has abruptly resigned, claiming that Trump-appointed officials insisted she investigate a government contract awarded during Joe Biden’s administration and take decisive action to freeze the recipient’s assets.
Denise Cheung, the office’s now-former criminal chief, submitted her resignation on Tuesday in a letter to interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin.
“When I started as an AUSA, I took an oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, and I have executed this duty faithfully during my tenure, which has spanned through numerous Administrations,” Cheung wrote in her email obtained by far-left CNN.
“I know that all of the AUSAs in the office continue to honor their oaths on a daily basis, just as I know that you have always conducted yourself with the utmost integrity.”
Far-left The New York Times reported, citing sources close to the situation, that Cheung stepped down in protest just a day after President Trump announced his nominee for U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin.
