Lindsey Halligan, the prosecutor handpicked by Donald Trump to indict two of the president’s political enemies, has been left out of discussions about whether she can still be considered employed in a top U.S. attorney’s office, according to a report.
Halligan, a former Miss Colorado beauty pageant contestant with no prior experience in criminal law, was ruled by a judge to be unlawfully serving as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, therefore voiding the charges she brought against former FBI Director James Comey and New York state Attorney General Letitia James.
The Department of Justice is still determining how it can pursue the cases against Comey and James as part of Trump’s revenge tour, with Halligan’s role as a top federal prosecutor in limbo following the decision from U.S. District Judge Cameron Currie. A source told CNN that Halligan is not involved in internal DOJ discussions about whether the department will continue the cases without her, and it is not even clear whether she will report to her office in Alexandria on Monday.
