After judge's rebuke, Trump ally Halligan to leave US Justice Department

Lindsey Halligan, a prosecutor closely aligned with President Donald Trump, is leaving the U.S. Justice Department, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Tuesday, ending a controversial stint as U.S. Attorney. Bondi announced Halligan's departure on X, blaming Senate Democrats who opposed renewing her as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, where she unsuccessfully pursued criminal cases against two of Trump's adversaries.
