Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Damian Williams announced his resignation as US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, effective December 13, following Trump's electoral victory. His departure coincides with the Justice Department's dismissal of cases against Trump due to a policy barring the prosecution of a sitting president. Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman highlighted a demoralized DOJ staff amid looming changes. Trump's transition indicates potential challenges for ongoing legal matters, including federal election interference and a New York hush money case. Interim US Attorney Edward Kim will assume duties as Trump nominates Jay Clayton for the position.
