Top Justice Official Resigns, Citing Opposition to Trump

HeadlineJul 05, 2017

A top Justice Department official has resigned, citing President Trump. In a LinkedIn post, former corporate compliance watchdog Hui Chen wrote, “On my mind were the numerous lawsuits pending against the President of the United States for everything from violations of the Constitution to conflict of interest, the ongoing investigations of potentially treasonous conducts, and the investigators and prosecutors fired for their pursuits of principles and facts. Those are conducts I would not tolerate seeing in a company, yet I worked under an administration that engaged in exactly those conduct. I wanted no more part in it.”
