The federal prosecutor who became the public face of the Justice Department's investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks, the killing of Chandra Levy and the Blackwater Worldwide shooting is resigning.
Washington U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Taylor, a holdover from the Bush administration, will leave the Justice Department on Friday. He is joining the auditing firm Ernst & Young, where he will lead their fraud investigation practice.
Taylor inherited the anthrax and Chandra Levy investigations and declared both long-unsolved matters closed.
