Lindsay Halligan Leaves as U.S. Attorney After Mounting Pressure From Judges
For weeks, judges have pressed Halligan to explain why she continues to identify herself in court filings as the U.S. attorney, despite a ruling in November that she was unlawfully appointed to the job.
In September, Mr. Trump forced out Ms. Halligan’s predecessor to install her instead, despite her lack of prosecutorial experience.
Once in the job, Ms. Halligan quickly indicted two of the president’s foes, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, the New York attorney general.
Those indictments were thrown out in November after a federal judge determined that Ms. Halligan’s appointment was unlawful.
