The Grimy Times has learned that a high-ranking official in the Eastern District of Texas is facing a crisis in leadership after the sudden departure of U.S. Attorney Damien M. Diggs on January 21, 2025.
Pursuant to the Vacancies Reform Act, First Assistant United States Attorney Abe McGlothin, Jr., has been named the Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas.
According to sources, Diggs’ departure has left a power vacuum in the district, with many speculating about the reasons behind his exit.
The Eastern District of Texas has seen its fair share of high-profile cases in recent years, including corruption and organized crime investigations.
McGlothin, a seasoned prosecutor with years of experience, is expected to bring stability to the district until a permanent replacement is appointed.
However, insiders are warning that the transition may not be smooth sailing, with some predicting a period of turmoil in the district.
The Grimy Times will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
