What led to Denise Chung's resignation from Trump's Department of Justice?

Denise Chung, a career federal prosecutor with 24 years of service, resigned after being pressured to falsify information related to an investigation. She refused to issue a letter claiming there was probable cause to seize banking records when she believed the evidence did not support such action. When she explained her ethical concerns about lacking legal authority for this request, she was asked for her resignation. Chung's principled stand represents part of a troubling pattern, as her resignation brings the total number of principled resignations in Trump's Justice Department to eight in just one week.
