The longtime chief executive officer of the Podesta Group is leaving the firm to start her own lobbying shop, according to a report released Thursday.

Kimberley Fritts, the CEO of the Podesta Group, announced she’s resigning in a staff wide meeting Thursday afternoon, distancing herself from the Podesta family to start her own lobbying firm, three Podesta Group staffers told Politico.

Fritts’ departure comes just weeks after former CEO Tony Podesta stepped down from the company and handed over control to Fritts amid reports that Podesta’s lobbying firm was a subject of investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Podesta and the Podesta Group’s involvement in Ukrainian politics reportedly caught Mueller’s eye and expanded his investigation to focus on Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm with connections to Hillary Clinton, sources told NBC in a report in late October.
