Sarah N. Lynch , Reuters; Career US Justice Department official in charge of public corruption cases resigns
"Corey Amundson, the U.S. Justice Department's senior career official in charge of overseeing public corruption and other politically sensitive investigations, resigned on Monday after the Trump administration tried to reassign him to a new role working on immigration issues, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
"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.
Amundson is one of an estimated 20 career officials inside the Justice Department who was reassignedlast week to a new Sanctuary City Working Group inside the Associate Attorney General's office."
