The criminal division of the Justice Department is about to lose one of its top-ranking officials.
The New York Times reports that Marshall L. Miller plans to step down as the criminal division’s second highest in command at month’s end.
The longtime federal prosecutor plans to take a job with New York University with plans to eventually join the private sector.
Miller served as the chief of staff of the criminal division’s leader, Leslie R. Caldwell, overseeing about 600 prosecutors who worked on cases ranging from public corruption to Wall Street misconduct.
“Marshall Miller is an outstanding attorney, a remarkable public servant and an unwavering advocate for the principles of justice,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.
Miller plans to join the Program on Corporate Compliance and Enforcement at the New York University School of Law.
