Oregon’s U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall may have troubles of her own to deal with.
The Willamette Weekly, Portland’s alternative newspaper, reports that the Justice Department placed Marshall on leave earlier this month pending an investigation of allegations that she stalked one of her male prosecutors.
The paper reports that the stalking allegedly involved text messages and emails, which would provide documentary evidence of her behavior. Neither Marshall nor the subordinate responded for comment to the paper, which wrote that it was unclear the nature of their relationship.
Marshall told The Oregonian newspaper that she stepping aside temporarily because “I’ve been having health issues for months. I can’t serve right now.”
Marshall was nominated for the position by President Obama in 2010 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2011.
