The controversial background of the new United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts has come under scrutiny following her confirmation to the role this week.
Rachael Rollins, 50, was confirmed as top federal prosecutor for Massachusetts on Wednesday in a party-line decision, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in the evenly divided Senate.
Rollins made history as the first black woman to hold the office, responsible for prosecuting federal crimes in Boston as well as the state of Massachusetts, and has been highly praised by progressives.
