Northern Florida U.S. Attorney Lawrence Keefe Resigning
February 27, 2021
U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida Lawrence Keefe resigned effective midnight Sunday.
He is one of dozens of U.S. attorneys that were nominated by former President Donald Trump that are now resigning.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Coody will serve as the interim U.S. attorney beginning Monday until President Joe Biden nominates a replacement that is confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Keefe was sworn into office on January 9, 2019.

This is normal operating procedure. Every time the opposing party takes office, these political appointees can plan to be removed in favor of the incoming administration. It’s ironic, when President Trump took office, he replaced most, if not all, of the U.S. Attorneys that had been appointed by the previous Democratic President. By the time the national news media was finished with that little bit of everyday business, you would have thought President Trump had performed mass executions.
