Why It Matters:
Aber, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, resigned in January after President Donald Trump was inaugurated. She had risen to lead one of the most important federal prosecutor's offices and roughly 300 prosecutors, civil litigators, and support personnel, regularly tasked with national security and terrorism-related cases.
The Alexandria Police Department said on Saturday that officers responded shortly after 9 a.m. local time to reports of an unresponsive woman at Beverley Drive, north of downtown and south of Arlington.
What To Know:
In mid-January, Asif Rahman, a former CIA analyst, pleaded guilty to retaining and transmitting top secret national defense information to people who were not entitled to receive it, before the information then appeared on social media in October 2024.
Aber said at the time that Rahman had "disclosed top secret American documents in violation of his oath, his responsibility, and the law," and his actions had "placed lives at risk, undermined U.S. foreign relations, and compromised our ability to collect vital intelligence in the future."
The Justice Department said in late September that it had, along with the State and Treasury Departments and law enforcement, unsealed an indictment that charged a Russian national, named as Sergey Ivanov, with involvement in "multiple money laundering services that catered to cybercriminals, as well as the seizure of websites associated with three illicit cryptocurrency exchanges."
