Lindsey Halligan hasn't been in her new job very long, but she's already made multiple mistakes that have people questioning her credibility.
Halligan, who twice competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant, will now lead one of the nation’s most important federal prosecutor offices.
Lindsey Halligan, the US attorney overseeing the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey, once warned that the Department of Justice risked becoming a tool for political revenge. Today, Halligan is drawing criticism for leading one of the most politically ch arged prosecutions in decades.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche both reportedly "quietly questioned" the qualifications of Lindsey Halligan.
The Trump administration’s effort to convict a former FBI director, James Comey, on two criminal counts could be undermined or slowed down if Mr. Comey — who’s declared himself “unafraid” — secures a disqualification of the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, who is charged with trying him.
An ethics professor from Halligan’s law school warns that if she pursues charges against the former FBI director without probable cause, she could be disciplined by the Florida bar.
Lindsey Halligan worked as a personal lawyer for President Trump and then led the effort to scrutinize the Smithsonian for “improper ideology.”
