Published February 9, 2018 10:30pm ET



Rachel Brand, the third-most senior official at the Department of Justice, is planning to step down from her position at the agency, after serving in her position for just nine months.

“The men and women of the Department of Justice impress me every day,” Brand said in a statement Friday evening. “I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish over my time here. I want to thank Attorney General Sessions for his leadership over this Department. I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to the rule of law and to keeping the American people safe.”
