Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan leaves her post as a top federal prosecutor

This NBC News article reports on the departure of Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan from her position as a top federal prosecutor in Virginia. Despite her lack of prosecutorial experience, Halligan was appointed to the role by Attorney General Pam Bondi. However, a federal judge barred her from representing herself as the top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia. The court's decision followed a ruling in November that Halligan was unlawfully serving in the role, a decision the Justice Department has appealed. The chief federal judge in the Eastern District of Virginia has since posted a job opening for the position previously occupied by Halligan.
