Brian Morrissey, the Treasury Department's general counsel, has resigned just hours after the Trump administration unveiled a $1.776 billion (£1.32 billion) fund tied to compensation claims for people who say they were wrongly targeted by the Biden-era Justice Department, including some Jan. 6 rioters.
His departure, reported by the New York Times, came roughly seven months after his Senate confirmation and quickly became part of a wider storm over the arrangement.
