Jonathan Kravis, a former federal prosecutor who resigned in protest of the Justice Department leadership's intervention in the sentencing of Roger Stone, has joined Munger, Tolles & Olson as a partner in Washington, the law firm said Monday.

In February, Kravis stepped down as a leader of the federal prosecutor's office in Washington after seeing his sentencing recommendation for Stone, a longtime friend and adviser of President Donald Trump, overruled by U.S. Attorney General William Barr. The three other career prosecutors who had helped secure Stone's conviction withdrew from the case but have remained at the U.S. Justice Department.
