AP broke the story. Paulose just released a statement confirming it. Here's the AP alert:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rachel Paulose, the embattled U.S. attorney for Minnesota, will be leaving the post to take a position at the Justice Department in Washington, according to a Bush administration official and congressional aide.

Update:

The folks at Minnesota Monitor say Eric Black had the scoop first.

Take a look at MPR's story on this. Former U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger says Paulose's comments to Powerline blogger Scott Johnson was about to set off more upheaval in her office and was the tipping point behind the move.
