Lindsey Halligan’s No. 2 at the ever-embattled district court for the Eastern District of Virginia was reportedly ousted after declining to lead the effort to re-indict James Comey and secretly meeting with federal judges to get her job.
Robert McBride, 64, is out as Halligan’s deputy after just a few months on the job, several sources told MS NOW. He was formerly a federal prosecutor in Kentucky and was brought into the office late last year.
McBride was asked in recent days to take charge of the case against the former FBI director, but he told top Justice Department officials it would be difficult to do that while also running the office, according to the outlet.
