U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, known for Capitol riot prosecutions, resigns ahead of Trump's inauguration.

Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., announced his resignation effective January 16, 2025. Nominated by President Biden, Graves led the prosecution of over 1,000 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. He also achieved a significant reduction in violent crime in Washington, seized over $3.6 billion in cryptocurrency from a hacking scheme, and indicted members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard for a hack against Trump's campaign. His departure precedes President-elect Trump's inauguration, raising questions about the future of ongoing prosecutions.
