Hennepin County Chief Public Defender Kassius Benson has made the decision to resign, Minnesota’s Chief Public Defender Bill Ward confirmed on Monday.
Ward said it is a “private, personal decision for Mr. Benson” and that he is “sad to see him resign.”
The resignation comes after revelations the IRS is investigating the private law firm of Benson for alleged tax fraud, according to a warrant filed in federal court in January this year.
