Rachael Rollins, who resigned last year as U.S. attorney for Massachusetts after an investigation into ethics violations, was suspended for nonpayment of registration fees, court documents show. ...

In January of 2022, Rollins was sworn in as U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, becoming the first Black woman to serve in that role.

Just 16 months later, she announced her resignation after a monthslong investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general. In a report to President Joe Biden, the U.S. Office of Special Council alleged that Rollins "willfully violated the Hatch Act on multiple occasions, thereby exhibiting an extraordinary abuse of power."
