via CNBC:
The Department of Justice’s internal watchdog began a probe last year after U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins attended a Democratic fundraiser last July featuring first lady Jill Biden, despite advice that this would violate ethics guidelines.
“We found Rollins’s conduct described throughout this report violated federal regulations, numerous DOJ policies, her Ethics Agreement, and applicable law, and fell far short of the standards of professionalism and judgment that the Department should expect of any employee, much less a U.S. Attorney,” the DOJ inspector general’s office said in its report.
That 161-page report found Rollins, who was appointed by President Biden, used her official position to try to help the election effort of a fellow Democrat for the Suffolk County district attorney position.
Rollins gave journalists nonpublic, sensitive DOJ information “to create the impression publicly, before the primary election, that DOJ was or would be investigating (his opponent) for public corruption,” according to the IG’s office.
The report found that Rollins lied under oath about that effort when asked about it by investigators.
