Federal Judge Samuel Kent, who is serving a 33-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice, will resign Tuesday, according to a resignation letter he gave a Senate official last week when he was served with a summons. Congress had been moving quickly to impeach Kent because he had earlier submitted a resignation letter effective June 1, 2010, which meant he would continue to receive his $174,000 judicial salary while in prison.
