On November twelfth, a significant legal development unfolded involving a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump, Lindsey Halligan. She is now facing a formal complaint filed by the Campaign for Accountability, alleging she is unfit to practice law and abused her power in criminal cases against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey. The complaint claims Halligan repeatedly violated professional and ethical rules, including making false statements and pursuing cases without sufficient probable cause. This situation stems from Halligans appointment by Trump to lead the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, where she pursued cases against James and Comey despite career prosecutors finding them without merit. Both James and Comey have pleaded not guilty to the charges. A federal judge is also reviewing Halligans conduct due to concerns about the legality of her appointment. This ongoing situation highlights deep concerns about the integrity of the Department of Justice and the fair administration of justice.
