Former Trump Lawyer Argues Against Being Removed from US Prosecutor Position Amid Controversy

Former Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan has defended her status as a US prosecutor after two high-profile dismissals sparked concerns about judicial overreach and undermine her authority to serve in that role, according to a new court filing. Halligan argued that the November ruling dismissing criminal cases does not impact her ability to perform her duties. The move comes amid scrutiny of prosecutors who have faced impeachment proceedings, including former Trump officials James Comey and Jeff Sessions. Halligan's defense aims to reassure the public about her commitment to upholding the law.
