A report published Monday shed light on the work of former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Jessica Aber, 43, who was found dead over the weekend.

According to the New York Post, Aber “had been in charge of some of the biggest cases targeting leaks in the CIA and Russian nationals carrying out fraud in America.”

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of her death. She was found unresponsive at her home by Alexandria police just before 9:20 a.m. on Saturday.

Before stepping down in January following the inauguration of Donald Trump, the Biden-appointed attorney secured one of her most high-profile courtroom victories when former CIA analyst Asif Rahman, 34, pleaded guilty to leaking top-secret documents detailing Israel’s plan to strike Iran last year.

The case centered on Rahman posting classified documents on Telegram that revealed details of Israel’s planned October strike, ultimately forcing the Israeli government to delay its response against Tehran.

Aber condemned Rahman’s actions, calling them “a violation of his oath, his responsibility, and the law,” and said the leak “placed lives at risk, undermined U.S. foreign relations, and compromised our ability to collect vital intelligence in the future.”

Aber also led the prosecution against Eleview International Inc., a Virginia-based company whose executives were accused of orchestrating “three separate schemes to illegally transship sensitive U.S. technology to Russia,” according to the Department of Justice.

In November, executives Oleg Nayandin, 54, and Vitaliy Borisenko, 39, were charged with illegally exporting more than $6 million worth of goods—including telecommunications equipment—to Russia. Prosecutors alleged the shipments were routed through ports in Turkey, Finland, and Kazakhstan to bypass U.S. sanctions imposed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Two months earlier, Aber also secured indictments against Russian nationals Sergey Ivanov and Timur Shakhmametov on charges of fraud and money laundering.

According to the United States Secret Service, the two were allegedly involved in one of the largest online money laundering operations, catering to cybercrime marketplaces, ransomware groups, and hackers responsible for major data breaches targeting U.S. financial infrastructure.

In addition to fraud and national security cases, Aber played a key role in the Justice Department’s indictment of four Russian soldiers accused of committing war crimes against an American citizen in Ukraine.

According to the DOJ, the victim was abducted from his home in the Kherson region, where he was beaten, tortured, and subjected to a mock execution.

Those charged included commanding officers Suren Seiranovich Mkrtchyan, 45, and Dmitry Budnik, along with two lower-ranking soldiers identified as Valerii and Nazar.

“We are proud to be at the forefront of the Justice Department’s effort to hold perpetrators of war crimes violations accountable in Ukraine and will continue to pursue them,” Aber said at the time.

Alexandria authorities stated Saturday that the cause and manner of Aber’s death will be determined by the medical examiner. A family friend told NBC News that police believe she may have died from a longstanding medical condition.

Two former senior Justice Department officials familiar with the situation also told the outlet that investigators have found no indication of foul play.

Born and raised in Virginia, Aber graduated from the University of Richmond in 2003 and earned her law degree from William & Mary Law School in 2006.

Before her appointment as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, she served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the same district beginning in 2009.

From 2015 to 2016, she also served as counsel to the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were publicly at odds again this week following elections in Hungary, where the administration-backed candidate, former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, was defeated by opposition candidate Péter Magyar.

Ahead of the vote, the Trump administration sent Vice President JD Vance to Hungary in a last-minute effort to bolster support, but the move appeared to have little impact, as Magyar secured a decisive victory.

Following the outcome, Obama reacted on X, writing:
“The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.”

Orbán had governed Hungary for 16 years, winning each of his elections through the democratic process.

The political tension between Obama and Trump has extended beyond Hungary. Obama has recently supported redistricting efforts in states such as Virginia and California, while opposing similar moves in Texas, Missouri, and other Republican-led states.

He also drew criticism for remarks made following the death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, where he used the moment to criticize the Trump administration and Republicans more broadly. His comments reportedly drew a rebuke from Jesse Jackson Jr..

Earlier this month, Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized Obama over past financial dealings with Iran, arguing that funds transferred during the nuclear agreement enabled Tehran to expand its military capabilities, including missile and drone programs used against U.S. and allied targets.

The criticism comes as the United States and Israel continue Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign aimed at degrading Iran’s military infrastructure amid claims that Tehran is rebuilding its nuclear weapons program.

Speaking at the FII PRIORITY Summit, Trump sharply criticized Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran, which he withdrew from during his first term.

“That Barack Hussein Obama, did you ever hear of him? Barack Hussein Obama, he had the Iran nuclear deal. He went to Iran, he paid them,” Trump said. “Remember, he sent two Boeing 757 jetliners. They took the seats out and they piled it with cash, like 1.7 billion of cash.”

“That’s when I realized the president is very powerful. The presidency is a very powerful thing when you can do that. I haven’t done that yet. I haven’t found a reason to do that yet, but that’s big,” he added.

At the time, Obama defended the $1.7 billion payment, stating that the funds were part of a legal settlement tied to a failed arms deal dating back to 1979, following the Iranian Revolution that led to the overthrow of the Shah and the hostage crisis involving American citizens.

“You know, there wasn’t a bank in DC, Virginia, or Maryland that had any money after that disaster,” Trump said.

“But they sent the cash to Iran, but more importantly, they signed an agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, which, if I didn’t terminate it in my first term, I terminated it almost immediately. If I didn’t terminate it, they would have had a nuclear weapon long ago, and they would have used it on the Middle East, Israel,” the commander-in-chief further stated.
