U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves Resigns Effective January 16, 2025, Chief Prosecutor of January 6 Cases, Ahead of Trump Inauguration
Dec 30, 2024, 07:55 PM
Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and chief prosecutor of January 6 cases, has announced his resignation effective January 16, 2025. His departure comes just days before Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as President. Graves has been a pivotal figure in the prosecution of over 1,000 individuals related to the January 6 Capitol attack, which he described as having 'probably the most recorded crimes in all of our history.' Following his resignation, Bridget Fitzpatrick, who has served as his principal assistant, will assume the role of acting U.S. Attorney. Graves's tenure has been marked by controversy, with critics accusing him of political bias in his prosecutions, particularly against Trump supporters. His decision to resign has sparked speculation regarding the future direction of ongoing January 6 cases under the incoming administration.
