Benjamin Waxman, longtime communications director for Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, is set to leave the office at the end of next month.

Waxman, who has been Krasner’s communications director for more than two years, said Thursday he felt “the time was right” to leave the office and begin doing communications work through his consulting firm A. Waxman & Company. Waxman said that, although he will cease to be the office’s communications director at the end of May, he expects he will continue doing some outside consulting work for Krasner.
