Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche accused Eastern District of Virginia judges of bias and hostility toward Lindsey Halligan.
- Their statement said the department has no tolerance for what it called undemocratic judicial activism and referred to certain judges as rogue.
- Judges in Virginia have told prosecutors that Halligan’s name should not appear on new criminal filings and have removed her name from at least one court document.
- Judge Cameron McGowan Currie previously ruled Halligan was not the U.S. attorney under the 120‑day rule and voided her actions, dismissing the cases against James Comey and Letitia James.
- Bondi vowed to appeal the dismissals and defended Halligan’s credentials, while noting prosecutors were following Office of Legal Counsel guidance.
