Former President Trump has announced the appointment of Lindsey Halligan, one of his former attorneys, as the new federal prosecutor in Virginia. This move comes in the wake of several resignations and firings of U.S. attorneys under pressure from Trump, particularly those involved in the investigation of New York Attorney General Letitia James. Reports indicate that Trump is pushing for investigations against his political foes, leading to actions against attorneys perceived as uncooperative. The situation has drawn criticism from certain lawmakers and raises questions about the political motivations behind these judicial appointments.
