AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - U.S. Attorney Bobby Christine will be one of several dozen President Donald Trump-appointed lawyers to resign.
It’s customary as a new administration comes to take the reins of power in Washington to ask a slew of previous administration attorneys to submit their resignations.
Several reports say that 56 Trump-appointed attorneys are expected to be asked to resign by the Department of Justice.
Christine was one of those 56. His resignation is effective Tuesday, his office said in a statement.
