(CNN) One of the four leading prosecutors chosen to be on President Donald Trump's law enforcement commission resigned last week after expressing "serious" concerns that the intention of the commission was not to bridge the gap between communities of color and law enforcement. Ramsey County, Minnesota, District Attorney John Choi submitted his letter of resignation on September 3 to Attorney General William Barr after his concerns about the work of the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice had not been not addressed since May. The Justice Department did not return CNN's request for comment. HuffPost was first to report on Choi's resignation. On May 29, Choi sent a letter -- along with Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree -- to the commission after hearing concerns raised by the NAACP and a host of other organizations about the "Commission's process, inclusiveness and transparency, and whether the Commission's processes conform to applicable federal law."
