The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) chief counsel, Hilary Perkins, has resigned from the role just two days after her appointment, she said on March 13.
“Five days ago, I left my job as Assistant Director of the Consumer Protection Branch at the U.S. Department of Justice to begin serving at the FDA as Chief Counsel. I was honored and humbled by the trust placed in me by President Trump, Secretary Kennedy, Dr. Makary, and the rest of the Administration,” Perkins wrote in a post on her LinkedIn profile.
