Humiliated Lindsey Halligan insists underlings still refer to her as 'US attorney'

Despite a brutal courtroom loss in which a judge called her a “former White House aide” instead of "counsel," defiant Donald Trump appointee Lindsey Halligan is insisting she still be referred to as “U.S. attorney” in all filings and documents.

The former insurance attorney was memorialized in Senior U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie's opinion, where the judge wrote, “On September 25, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just days before, Ms. Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging former FBI Director James B. Comey, Jr. with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.”

With the case tossed, Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted she will appeal and is keeping Halligan on the case despite the judge's ruling, with MS NOW’s Ken Dilanian reporting, “Some people inside the DOJ looked at that as kind of a middle finger to the judge. They're putting Lindsey Halligan's name back on the document as the U.S. attorney.”

That led MS NOW legal analyst Lisa Rubin to interject, “In the meantime, as Ken noted, we have evidence that Lindsey Halligan is insisting on continuing to call herself the United States attorney, not a special attorney, as Pam Bondi has designated her, and not any other sort of interim title that would allow her to maintain control of the office, but defiantly continuing to call herself the united states attorney, even in court filings."

“That is the directive to career prosecutors in that office, well before the appeal is filed, well before any stay has been applied for from the federal court of appeals,“ she added.
