The medical examiner has not determined the cause of death.
The former federal prosecutor who resigned the day President Donald Trump took office in 2025 was found dead Saturday in her Virginia home, the Alexandria Police Department said in a statement.
Jessica Aber, former U.S. attorney for the eastern District of Virginia, was 43. Her death is under investigation.
On Jan. 20, the day of Trump’s inauguration, Aber resigned after serving as U.S. attorney for the eastern District of Virginia for three years. She was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2021.
“I’ve had the privilege of spending my career as a prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia working alongside talented, hard-working public servants who manage matters affecting citizens here and across the world,” Aber said in a statement. “Concluding my service to the District as its U.S. Attorney has been an honor beyond measure.”
Attorney General Pamela Bondi called Aber’s death “deeply tragic.”
