Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Seth DuCharme announced his resignation Monday — after less than eight months on the job.

DuCharme, whose resignation is effective March 19, will be replaced by Mark Lesko, currently the office’s second in command, according to a press release.

“My time in EDNY and the Department gives me great confidence that the American people are well served by forward-leaning professionals, who put mission first, and assume risks every day on behalf of the people they are sworn to serve,” DuCharme said in a statement.

“After having had the opportunities to serve at so many levels, from junior AUSA to close advisor to the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, and most recently as Acting US Attorney, I am now thrilled to be spending more time with my family, and to transitioning thoughtfully and successfully into private practice,” the statement continued.

Former Attorney General William Barr on July 10, 2020 appointed DuCharme to head the district, which comprises Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island.

During DuCharme’s brief tenure, he expanded the office’s Rapid Strategic Prosecution Initiative to more effectively use crime data to identify and investigate violent armed criminals and organizations, the release noted.

He also oversaw the creation of a Bank Integrity Task Force to target individuals and corporations using US banks to launder money.
