FYI...Florida Insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan -- highlights

--Halligan attended Holy Family High school, Regis University in Denver, and earned a degree in political science and broadcast journalism. She competed in the Miss Colorado USA pageant twice. in 2009 she was a semifinalist, and in 2010 she was third runner up.

--Halligan was second chair to another lawyer defending an insurance company at a two-day trial against three Miami homeowners who had suffered damaged roofs. A judge would not award her attorneys fees because he ruled that her team did not act "in good faith."

--Halligan was local counsel for the case spawned by the FBI's execution of a search warrant at Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago, which Halligan said came as a "huge surprise" in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida... She was one of the few lawyers working for Trump who was on site during the FBI search. She said Trump's subsequent indictment went "for the jugular". Trump's Save America PAC paid Halligan $212,000 from June 2022 to June 2023.

--In a March 2025 executive order, Trump tasked Halligan and JD Vance with removing "improper ideology" regarding portrayal of race in American history in the Smithsonian Institution.
