Why did Denise Chung resign from the Justice Department?

Denise Chung, a well-respected prosecutor at the Justice Department, resigned following unusual orders that raised concerns about politicization. Her departure appears to be related to resisting directives to freeze assets without sufficient evidence, highlighting her commitment to legal ethics and integrity. Her resignation serves as a warning sign about how the Trump administration is using the Justice Department. According to Ryan Reilly, this represents another significant departure from the DOJ and indicates troubling patterns in how the current administration intends to operate the department, raising alarms among federal prosecutors about political interference in legal processes.
