Resignation of FDA's Top Lawyer Hilary K. Perkins
Resignation of FDA's top lawyer, Hilary K. Perkins, after being appointed just this week. Perkins, a former assistant director under Biden's DOJ, was selected by acting general Sean Keveney in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Perkins previously defended abortion pill access in a high-profile case under Biden's DOJ. HHS officials were reportedly unhappy with the decision to appoint Perkins but were overruled by White House officials.
