Trump Inauguration Day Quitter, Biden Appointed Ex-US Attorney Jessica D Aber, Found Mysteriously Dead In Virginia Home

Virginia: The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia is reeling in shock after the sudden and mysterious death of former US Attorney Jessica D Aber. The 43-year-old former US Attorney, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, was found dead at her home in Virginia's Alexandria on Saturday morning. Notably, Aber had quit from her job on the first day Donald Trump took over the office for the second term in January. 

As per reports, Aber's remarkable career spanned over 15 years, with her most notable appointment being the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, a position she held from 2021 until her resignation on January 20, of this year. During her tenure, Aber led a team of around 300 lawyers and staff, tackling some of the nation's most high-profile cases involving terrorism, espionage, public corruption, and corporate crime.

According to the officials of the US administration, Aber's commitment to justice and public service was evident throughout her career. She began her journey as a law clerk for US District Judge M Hannah Lauck and later worked as an assistant US attorney, prosecuting cases involving financial fraud, public corruption, and violent crime. Her exceptional work earned her the Assistant Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service in 2019.

Aber's colleagues and peers remember her as an exceptional leader, mentor, and prosecutor. "Jess was brilliant, but far more important was her sense for justice, her humanity, and her ability to change the world in a positive way even during her brief time with us," said US District Judge M Hannah Lauck. Erik S Siebert, Aber's interim successor, echoed similar sentiments, stating, "She was unmatched as a leader, mentor, and prosecutor. She is simply irreplaceable as a human being".
