President Donald Trump said on Sept. 19 that he had withdrawn the nomination of Erik Siebert to serve as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Siebert is currently serving as interim for the role. He has been leading the probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud case, but his office did not find “incriminating evidence” to bring charges, according to a joint statement by Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.).
