Ethan Davis, a top official in the U.S. Justice Department division tasked with defending Trump administration policies in court, is stepping in as the division’s leader following the resignation of Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt.

Davis, a former litigation partner at King & Spalding in San Francisco, returned to the Justice Department as Hunt’s top deputy in July 2019 after clerking for Justice Neil Gorsuch. Davis had previously served as a top political appointee overseeing the consumer protection branch of the Justice Department’s civil division, a role that gave him oversight of initiatives to combat the opioid crisis and elder fraud.
