One of two prosecutors who worked on the original case last summer, which ended in a mistrial because prosecutors showed the jury inadmissible evidence, Durham is chief of the public corruption unit at the U.S. attorney's office in Washington. He has directed a wide variety of white-collar prosecutions, including one against Riggs Bank that resulted in the largest criminal fine in the history of the Bank Secrecy Act. He also prosecuted baseball player Miguel Tejada, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of misleading congressional investigators who questioned him about steroids.
