The whirlwind week had ended with a thud for Rachael Rollins.

The once-rising star of the progressive ranks has resigned as U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, the office announced.

The press release states: “Rachael S. Rollins resigned today as United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. In accordance with the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy has assumed the role of Acting U.S. Attorney.

“Mr. Levy joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office with over 25 years of legal experience and has served as First Assistant United States Attorney since January 2022. Mr. Levy was an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, from 1997 to 2004, serving in the Criminal Division’s Economic Crimes Unit. There, he prosecuted a wide range of white-collar crimes including health care fraud, securities and investor fraud, terrorism financing and environmental crimes.”

It all started in July when a Herald reporter asked Rollins if it was a violation of the Hatch Act to keep walking into a DNC fundraiser in Andover to see First Lady Jill Biden.

Rollins told the Herald: “No.”

The DOJ, her former employer, has disagreed.
