U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut Deirdre Daly, who resigned last week following an order from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will keep her job a little longer.

In a written statement Monday, Daly said Sessions and the administration allowed her to stay on as U.S. attorney so that she “might complete 20 years of service to the Department of Justice,” a milestone she will reach in October. Asked if this was the only reason Daly will remain in office, a Department of Justice representative declined to comment further. The representative said Daly plans to leave office in October.
