Jessica Aber, 43, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was found dead at her home Saturday, with investigators seeing no signs of foul play. Authorities believe a longstanding medical condition is the likely factor, though the official cause of death is still pending. During her tenure, she oversaw major cases ranging from a CIA leak to prosecutions tied to Russia-related tech exports, cyber–money laundering, and Ukraine war-crimes charges against Russian soldiers. Her death marks the loss of a prominent federal prosecutor known for handling some of the nation’s most sensitive cases.
