Shea will be replaced by Justin Herdman, the U.S. attorney in Cleveland, who will move into the role as top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current DEA administrator, Uttam Dhillon, will take on a role as a senior official at the Justice Department, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official could not discuss the matter publicly before a formal announcement and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shea has led the U.S. attorney\u2019s office in Washington, the largest in the country, since February. The office has historically been responsible for some of the most significant and politically sensitive cases the Justice Department brings in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February, Barr and Shea overruled prosecutors in Stone\u2019s case, arguing that an initial recommendation from the prosecutors was excessive. The entire Stone trial team quit the case, and one of the prosecutors left the Justice Department altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shea also signed a motion seeking to drop the charges against Flynn earlier this month. In court papers, the Justice Department said a review of the case uncovered troubling legal issues, including what Barr believes were irregularities in the FBI\u2019s 2017 interview of Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to agents about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge presiding over Flynn\u2019s criminal case has appointed a retired jurist to evaluate whether the former Trump administration national security adviser should be held in criminal contempt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Trump
