A Former Federal Prosecutor on Why He Quit Donald Trump's Department of Justice
"Troy Edwards, who resigned from a senior national-security position, stated, 'When the Justice Department indicted Comey on grounds widely seen as flimsy, I knew I had reached my red line.'"
"Edwards emphasized the importance of integrity in the Justice Department, saying, 'I believe that prosecutors should stand firm against political pressures and uphold the law without bias.'"
Pam Bondi's tenure as Attorney General has led to the resignation or firing of thousands of federal prosecutors. Troy Edwards, a former assistant U.S. attorney, resigned from a senior national-security position after the Justice Department indicted his father-in-law, James Comey, on questionable charges. Edwards had previously secured convictions against Oath Keepers related to January 6th. He expressed concerns about the politicization of the Justice Department and advised other prosecutors against following his path of resignation.
