The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, plans to resign on January 16, just days before President-elect Trump's inauguration.
Graves managed the Justice Department's investigation into the January 6 Capitol attack, marking a significant period of his tenure.
Since taking office on November 5, 2021, he's led prosecutions against over 1,500 defendants related to the Capitol riots.
His office achieved the largest financial seizure in DOJ history, recovering $3.6 billion in stolen cryptocurrency.
As Trump prepares for office, he plans to offer pardons to some January 6 defendants, raising concerns about Graves's impact on ongoing investigations.
