— A statement given by a Munger Tolles & Olson spokesperson to Bloomberg Law, concerning the recent departure of litigator Usha Chilukuri Vance, in the wake of her husband Sen. J.D. Vance’s selection as Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election. Usha, a Yale Law graduate who clerked for Judge Amul Thapar (E.D. Kentucky), Judge Brett Kavanaugh (D.C. Circuit), and Chief Justice John Roberts, said in her own statement that in light of the news concerning her husband, she had “resigned from [her] position at Munger, Tolles & Olson to focus on caring for our family.” Her biography has already been removed from the Munger Tolles website.
