Former U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, Jessica Aber, was found dead in Alexandria at the age of 43. Police responded to a report of an unresponsive woman and discovered her deceased. The cause of death is yet to be determined by the medical examiner’s office. Aber had resigned from her position on January 20, the same day President Donald Trump was inaugurated. She was appointed by President Joe Biden in August 2021 and was confirmed by the Senate. U.S. attorneys can be removed by the president at their will. Following her resignation, Trump announced the termination of all remaining U.S. attorneys under Biden. The current U.S. attorney for the district, Erik S. Siebert, expressed his grief over Aber’s passing, describing her as an exceptional leader and prosecutor. U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi also offered her condolences, calling Aber’s death deeply tragic. Aber was well-loved in her role and will be sorely missed by her colleagues and friends. The circumstances of her death continue to be investigated by authorities.
