Florida Bar Probes Halligan for DOJ Conduct Amid Trump Ties

Former DOJ official Lindsey Halligan, a Trump loyalist who challenged Comey and Letitia James, is under a Florida Bar investigation for alleged ethical violations after critics accused her of falsely claiming to be a U.S. attorney. She previously faced allegations that she acted without authority—two federal judges dismissed cases tied to her temporary appointment as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia—leading the bar to review her conduct following complaints by the Campaign for Accountability.
