The U.S. Attorney Whom Trump Installed In Atlanta Amid GA Plotting Has Left Post
U.S. Attorney Bobby Christine has left the Atlanta office that former President Trump hand-picked him to lead while he was trying to reverse Georgia’s election results, the Washington Post reported Monday.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Atlanta is now being led by Kurt Erskine, the career prosecutor who was passed over when former U.S. Attorney Byung Jin “Bjay” Pak left his Atlanta post in early January.
Trump intervened in that line of succession to give the job to Christine, whom he had previously appointed as U.S. attorney in Savannah. Christine is still serving as U.S. attorney in Savannah, the Washington Post said.
The circumstances of Pak’s departure made Trump’s intervention all the more sketchy, and the shake-up is now the subject of an inspector general investigation.
