Two senior federal prosecutors have departed the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia , adding to the mounting upheaval inside the office that recently brought criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey .

Michael Ben’Ary, who led the office’s national security section, was reportedly fired on Wednesday. The move came just hours after conservative journalist Julie Kelly publicly flagged his prior role as senior counsel to former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco during the Biden administration, according to multiple reports citing people familiar with the matter.
