A legal watchdog group is pushing the state bars of Florida and Virginia to investigate Lindsey Halligan, a Trump appointee who's leading the prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James.

James Comey and Letitia James argue their criminal charges should be dismissed because prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed as U.S. attorney.

The state bars of Florida and Virginia are under increased pressure to investigate Lindsey Halligan, the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who is overseeing the federal prosecutions of a former FBI director and New York’s attorney general.

A watchdog complained against the lawyer in Florida, where she’s licensed, and in Virginia, where she’s fulfilling Trump’s quest for revenge.

The judge overseeing James Comey's criminal case has granted a request from the DOJ to block an order mandating they hand over grand jury evidence to Comey's attorneys.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi gave interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan of the Eastern District of Virginia the additional job title, the government said in court papers aimed at defense attacks on the legitimacy of Halligan's actions.

A federal judge is prepared to hear arguments Thursday on whether Lindsey Halligan should be removed from the Comey and James cases.
