Nevada U.S. attorney dumped by attorney general
Nevada’s U.S. attorney is one of the lawyers ousted by the Trump administration.
Daniel Bogden’s last day on the job was March 10.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asked for the resignation of 46 U.S. attorneys who were holdovers from the Obama administration.
Bogden served two stints for a total of 14 years as Nevada’s top prosecutor. He was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2001 and then let go by him six years later. Obama put him back in the job in 2009.
Steven Myhre is the interim head of the Nevada office.
