Tuesday, January 20, 2026

Lindsey Halligan, President Donald Trump's handpicked interim US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, left her position at the Justice Department Tuesday, marking an end to her turbulent tenure bringing cases against the president's political enemies. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Halligan's exit in a post on X Tuesday evening, writing that it "is a significant loss" for the department and noting that she "will continue to serve her country in other ways."

News of Halligan's departure came hours after a federal judge issued a withering ruling calling out Halligan's decision to use unusually sharp language earlier this month as she pushed back on the judge's questioning of her authority, saying the "unnecessary rhetoric" had "a level of vitriol more appropriate for a cable news talk show."
