BREAKING: Attorney who oversaw Roger Stone case resigns from Trump administration

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by CNN.com:
(CNN) — The US attorney whose nomination for a top Treasury Department job was yanked because she ran the office that oversaw Roger Stone’s prosecution has resigned, an administration official tells CNN.
Jessie Liu, who previously headed the US attorney’s office in Washington, submitted her resignation to the Treasury Department, effective Wednesday evening. She went to the Treasury Department with the intention of filling a Senate-confirmed position, which is no longer available after her nomination was withdrawn earlier Wednesday, the official said.
The article goes on to state the following:
While head of the US Attorney’s Office in Washington, Liu inherited many of the major ongoing cases from Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation and was also handling the politically charged case of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of Trump’s ire who is also a CNN contributor.
Liu was scheduled to have her confirmation hearing today. Yesterday she resigned from her temporary position at Treasury, which she was doing until she got confirmed. In what many saw as unusual, she left U.S. attorney’s office before being confirmed. https://t.co/6eG8Bna6si

On Tuesday, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs exposed shocking details surrounding Liu, in what he called another “deep state cover-up.”
Dobbs revealed that former Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director James Wolfe had been the one to leak the FISA application used against Carter Page.
“During her time as D.C.’s top attorney, Liu helped Wolfe get away with leaking classified information and lying to the FBI,” Dobbs alleged.
