As the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York,
Michael Garcia oversaw the prostitution investigation that led to
the resignation of then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. He also had a
big role in probes of Wall Street. His departure is expected, since
the incoming Barack Obama administration will be in a position to
nominate a replacement next year.
He has informed Justice Department officials in Washington that
he will soon leave the position, according to a person briefed on
the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because the
announcement is not yet official.
