Disgraced U.S. District Court Judge Samuel Kent has notified President Barack Obama of his "unconditional resignation" from the federal bench effective next June 1, his lawyer, Dick DeGuerin told the Houston Chronicle today.
Kent sent his letter to the president on the eve of formal impeachment proceedings by the House Judiciary Committee, DeGuerin said.
DeGuerin said Kent delayed stepping down from the bench for a year because it would take the House and the Senate at least that long to complete impeachment proceedings.
