 A federal judge appointed to the U.S. District Court in Alaska has resigned after an investigation found he engaged in abusive sexual conduct with law clerks. Liz Ruskin with Alaska Public Media says that judge was appointed by President Trump in 2019. A council of judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded Joshua Kindred had a sexualized relationship with a law clerk, sent vulgar messages to several clerks, and later lied about it.
