Lindsey Halligan, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is being investigated by the Florida bar after her brief tenure with the Justice Department became mired in controversy. Trump appointed Halligan to be Virginia’s top prosecutor, but her appointment was ruled unlawful last fall for technical reasons. Halligan was ordered to leave the post, and a panel of federal judges selected her replacement last month. Allegations that indictments Halligan secured against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were fueled by political animus
