Fox News
Channing Phillips will take the reins as acting United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, effective Wednesday, with current acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin transitioning to a special role to continue the “overall supervision” of the Capitol riot investigation “at the request of” the Justice Department, Fox News has learned.
Phillips was the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia under the Obama administration and stayed in the post until September 2017. "In the wake of a nationwide pandemic shutdown, historic social unrest and upheaval, and the brazen assault of our Capitol on January 6, this Office has marched forward and remained the loadstar for all other Districts to emulate," Sherwin wrote in the memo.More Related News
