Theo Stamos will take on the role of acting U.S. attorney in a Virginia office facing challenges due to controversies linked to investigations encouraged by President Donald Trump.
Stamos has an extensive history as a prosecutor in Virginia’s state courts. Twice elected as the commonwealth’s attorney for Arlington County and Falls Church, she also served as a key advisor to Republican Attorney General Jason S. Miyares.
The Justice Department announced her appointment on Wednesday, placing her in charge of this significant U.S. attorney’s office in Virginia. The office has experienced significant staff turnover amidst efforts by President Trump to target his adversaries. Her experience in legal proceedings and management is expected to provide stability and direction during this turbulent period.
