James Comey’s son-in-law, Troy A. Edwards, Jr., resigned Thursday night from his position as a senior national security prosecutor shortly after the former FBI director was indicted.

In a one-sentence letter to US Attorney Lindsey Halligan obtained by CNN, Edwards wrote: “To uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately.”

Edwards worked in the same Virginia office that is now prosecuting his father-in-law.
