Department of Health and Human Services General Counsel Mike Stuart is no longer serving in that role, three agency sources familiar with the matter confirmed to NOTUS.

Stuart continues to work at the agency in an unknown capacity, the sources added.

Stuart’s apparent reassignment follows NOTUS reporting from last week that detailed how Stuart recently bought six-figures’ worth of stock in Corning Inc. — a major HHS contractor — while also trading stock shares of other government contractors.
