ATLANTA — Ryan Buchanan has announced his resignation as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. Buchanan will step down from the post on Jan. 19, one day before Donald Trump is sworn in as the nation’s 47th president. After serving as assistant U.S. attorney for the district since 2013, Buchanan was nominated to move into the top job by President Joe Biden in late 2021. He took up the position in the spring of 2022 BUCHANAN after his confirmation by the U.S. Senate. “It is nearly impossible for me to reduce to writing my admiration and gratitude for you,” Buchanan wrote Thursday in a message to members of his office. “You embody the high ideals of the Department of Justice, and you live out our mission daily. The Northern District, the state of Georgia, and the United States are safer because of your efforts.” Under Buchanan’s leadership, the Northern District of Georgia created a dedicated section – the Public Integrity & Civil Rights Section – to formalize and expand the office’s civil and criminal civil rights work. The new section helped convict former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill of intentionally violating the civil rights of six pre-trial detainees by ordering them strapped into restraint chairs for hours without legal justification. The unit also prosecuted 11 high-ranking city of Atlanta officials and contractors for bribery, theft, tax fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, including the conviction of former Chief Financial Officer Jim Beard.
