Corey Amundson, the U.S. Justice Department’s senior official overseeing public corruption and other politically sensitive investigations, resigned on Monday after the Trump administration attempted to reassign him to an immigration-focused role, Reuters reported.
In a resignation letter obtained by Reuters, Corey stated” I am honored and blessed to have served our country and this department for the last 23 years,” Amundson wrote in his letter to Acting Attorney General James McHenry.
“I spent my entire professional life committed to the apolitical enforcement of the federal criminal law and to ensuring that those around me understood and embraced that central tenet of our work,” Amundson said.
Neither the Justice Department nor Amundson has provided additional comments on the matter.
