Rachael Rollins, the US attorney for Massachusetts, repeatedly leaked “derogatory information” to damage a political candidate by suggesting he was under investigation, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog said.
In a sweeping, 155-page report that goes beyond inappropriate appearances at political events, the department’s Office of the Inspector General said Rollins falsely testified under oath and violated a number of other federal rules and DOJ standards.
