TL;DR

Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, stepped down from the Justice Department after a judge sharply criticized her rhetoric and a prior ruling found her appointment invalid, prompting EDVA to seek an interim replacement as her 120-day term ended; Attorney General Pam Bondi called the departure a significant loss and Halligan said the court vacancy would be filled through other means.
