The Justice Department confirmed on Wednesday that Channing Phillips will return to his previous post and lead the U.S. Attorney Office for the District of Columbia in an acting capacity.
A department spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that the current top prosecutor for the office, Michael Sherwin, will leave his post this week but will remain in Washington for a brief period, at the request of the department, to allow for a smooth transition with the oversight of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol prosecutions.
