Nearly two months after Hur resigned from his post in Maryland, he joined Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Washington, D.C. office as a partner—until he was appointed by Garland last year.
Before he became Maryland’s top federal prosecutor, Hur was the Justice Department’s principal associate deputy attorney general, reporting to Trump-era deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, and he worked as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Maryland and as counsel to George W. Bush-era assistant AG Christopher Wray (who now leads the FBI).
