Lindsey Halligan Defends U.S. Attorney Position and Criticizes Judge

Top Justice Department officials defended Lindsey Halligan’s continued use of the U.S. attorney title, despite a judge’s ruling that her appointment was invalid. They criticized U.S. District Judge David Novak’s demand for Halligan to justify her title as a “gross abuse of power” and claimed it infringed on the Executive Branch. Halligan’s appointment was deemed unlawful by Judge Cameron Currie, who stated all actions stemming from it, including indictments against James Comey and Letitia James, must be annulled. The Justice Department maintained that Currie’s ruling only applied to specific cases, allowing Halligan to retain her title in other matters.
