The Justice Department’s expert on public corruption and financial fraud is leaving the federal government, the Washington Post reports.
Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer, head of the criminal division, is calling it quits, the Post reports.
Breuer has been praised for aggressively pursuing white-collar crime and beefing up the division’s involvement in money-laundering case.
The Post wrote that Breuer’s “days in office are winding down.”
Breuer used to be a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney’s office, becoming versed in white-collar crimes.
It’s unclear why he’s stepping down.
