Halligan Stands by U.S. Attorney Label in Courtroom Clash
TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department pushed back on a federal judge’s order directing Lindsey Halligan to explain why she continues to use the title 'U.S. attorney' in Virginia court filings, saying Halligan did not misrepresent anything and that the judge’s earlier ruling invalidating her appointment remains in effect, as the DOJ appeals without seeking a stay; Halligan’s combative response accuses the judge of rudimentary legal errors, underscoring ongoing tensions between the Trump administration’s DOJ appointees and the federal judiciary.
