Top Justice Official Resigns, Citing Opposition to Trump
--------------------------------------------------------

A top Justice Department official has resigned, citing President Trump.
In a Linked In post, former corporate compliance watchdog Hui Chen
wrote, "On my mind were the numerous lawsuits pending against the
President of the United States for everything from violations of the
Constitution to conflict of interest, the ongoing investigations of
potentially treasonous conducts, and the investigators and prosecutors
fired for their pursuits of principles and facts. Those are conducts I
would not tolerate seeing in a company, yet I worked under an
administration that engaged in exactly those conduct. I wanted no more
part in it."
