US federal court attorney Brian Peace has said he will resign on January 10. Attorney Peace himself had accused Adani Group company Adani Green Energy and its officials of being involved in a bribery case. Attorney Peace was appointed by President Biden.

He said he would resign before newly elected President Donald Trump takes office. Pease, 53, of Brooklyn, New York, released a statement Wednesday announcing his resignation. He said the opportunity to work as a lawyer for the US Federal Court was the opportunity of a lifetime. President Biden nominated Pease in 2021. Peace will resign before US President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20 in the November 2025 election. The statement also said that she will be replaced by Caroline Pokorny. Adani Group has denied the allegations made by Peace. A statement issued by Adani Green Energy said that Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani and senior director Vineet Jain have been cleared of all bribery charges imposed by the US Justice Department.
