Ethics probe and resignation
In November 2022, the United States Department of Justice’s inspector general opened a wide-ranging ethics probe into Rollins’ appearance at a Democratic National Committee political fundraiser with First Lady Jill Biden, her travel, and use of her personal cellphone.[34]

The inspector general’s 161-page report alleged a broad array of misconduct by Rollins. It accused her of disclosing to a journalist nonpublic information about a possible Justice Department investigation, soliciting and accepting 30 free tickets to a Boston Celtics game and accepting thousands of dollars from a sports and entertainment agency for flights and a stay at a luxury resort. According to the report, Rollins tried to influence the outcome of the race to succeed her as Suffolk County District Attorney by “repeatedly attempt[ing] to sabotage” the campaign of her favored candidate’s rival. The report also found that she had lied under oath to investigators.[35][36]

Another federal watchdog agency, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, found in its own investigative report that on multiple occasions Rollins violated the Hatch Act, a law that limits political activity by government workers. In a letter to President Joe Biden, Special Counsel Henry Kerner described Rollins’ violations as among the “most egregious transgressions” of the law that the agency has ever investigated:[37] “In particular, her repeated efforts to leak non-public DOJ information for the purpose of harming a political candidate rank among the most flagrant violations of the Hatch Act that OSC has ever investigated,” the report states. “The leak was an extraordinary breach of public trust by a senior government official, which threatens to erode confidence in the integrity of federal law enforcement actions.”[37]

Rollins resigned on May 19, 2023, preventing the federal government from disciplining her.[37][38][39][40]
