Florida Bar retracts ethics probe claim about Halligan, Trump-era U.S. attorney
The Florida Bar said it erroneously stated that Lindsey Halligan, the Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney in Virginia, was under ethics investigation; the bar now says it’s merely monitoring the underlying legal proceedings tied to a Campaign for Accountability complaint, amid ongoing scrutiny of Halligan’s appointment and related Trump-era prosecutions against James and Comey.
