Jessica Aber, 43, former U.S. Attorney for Virginia’s Eastern District and a Biden appointee, was found dead at her Washington, D.C. home on Saturday.
Her family revealed she had long battled epilepsy, a condition that can lead to sudden death during sleep.
Authorities suspect natural causes and await final confirmation from the medical examiner. Aber, who stepped down earlier this year, led major cases involving CIA leaks and illegal tech exports to Russia. Colleagues praised her brilliance, leadership, and commitment to justice. Her family has requested privacy as they mourn.
