"Rachael Rollins, who resigned from her post as the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts amid a wave of controversy in 2023, has agreed to a public reprimand for misconduct. That reprimand was detailed in documents released by the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers Monday. The reprimand was recommended on June 30, when Rollins agreed to the reprimand without a hearing. But the board has yet to approve the resolution and still lists Rollins as having "disciplinary proceedings pending" on its website."
"Rollins formerly served as the Suffolk County District Attorney before being sworn in as U.S. Attorney in January 2022. Her tenure in that position lasted a little over a year. Rollins resigned after two federal watchdog agencies released scathing reports on her conduct in office. Rollins was accused of an "extraordinary" abuse of power tied to her efforts to meddle in the 2022 race for Suffolk DA."
