Sally Yates

Sally Yates is an American attorney who served as the Deputy Attorney General of the United States from 2015 to 2017 and briefly as the Acting Attorney General in the early days of the Trump administration. Known for her principled stance on legal and constitutional issues, Yates gained national attention after she refused to enforce the Trump administration's travel ban in January 2017. Her tenure and subsequent testimony in congressional hearings regarding the FBI's Russia investigation have made her a prominent figure in discussions about legal ethics and the rule of law in the United States.
