Halligan Leaves as U.S. Attorney

“Lindsey Halligan, tapped by President Trump to prosecute his enemies, has left the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia, Attorney General Pam Bondi said late Tuesday after a judge called Ms. Halligan’s bid to remain in office a ‘charade,’” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Bondi, who had expressed reservations about Ms. Halligan’s fitness to serve after her appointment in September, blamed the state’s Democratic senators, who used their prerogative to block appointments, for forcing the onetime Trump defense lawyer to leave her post.”
