After 20 years with the Justice Department Mr. McElvain quit after it said it would not defend the Affordable Care Act against a lawsuit brought on 20 Republican-led states arguing that the law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions is unconstitutional since the repeal of the individual mandate.
Just before the department filed a brief saying it would not defend the ACA, Mr. McElvain and two other attorneys filed a motion to withdraw from the case. Mr. McElvain will step down July 6.
