Abber, appointed by Biden, resigned from her post as federal prosecutor on Trump’s inauguration day.
Police have launched an investigation after it was discovered that a former federal prosecutor had died at his home in Alexandria, Virginia on Saturday morning.
Until recently, Abbar was a US lawyer for the Eastern District of Virginia.
It is not yet clear how Aber died.
“As a matter of protocol, an investigation is underway surrounding the circumstances of her death. The Virginia Chief Inspector’s position will determine the cause and method of death,” said Alexandria Police.
