Vermont U.S. Attorney Resigns

Washington D.C. – In a shocking move, U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin has resigned from his position after more than five years of service to the people of Vermont.

According to sources close to the matter, Coffin’s resignation is a result of his decision to step down from his position as the top federal law enforcement official in the state.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder released a statement praising Coffin’s service and dedication to justice. ‘During more than five years as United States Attorney for Vermont, Tris Coffin has been an exemplary leader, a committed public servant, and a tireless advocate for the cause of justice.’

Coffin’s illustrious career spans over twelve years, including twelve distinguished years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Office he returned to lead in 2009. He has demonstrated exceptional skill in litigation and consummate judgment, playing an instrumental role in driving important national policy changes, including commonsense sentencing reforms under the Smart on Crime initiative.

Coffin has also been at the forefront of efforts to combat the scourge of opioid addiction, both in Vermont and far beyond. He personifies the high standards of integrity and professional excellence that define the very best of this country’s public servants, earning the gratitude of Attorney General Holder.

Although Coffin’s resignation marks the end of an era, his legacy will live on in the hearts of those he has served. His tireless work and dedication to justice have set a new standard for public servants, and he will be deeply missed by his colleagues and the people of Vermont.

As Coffin embarks on the next step of his remarkable career, he leaves behind a lasting impact on the state and the nation. His commitment to justice and his unwavering dedication to the people of Vermont will be remembered for years to come.
