Florida Bar quietly walks back investigation claim against ousted ex-Trump lawyer

https://www.rawstory.com/lindsey-halligan-2675663186/

Florida's bar association on Friday said it “erroneously” announced that Lindsey Halligan was under an ethics probe, The Hill reported Friday.

Halligan was President Donald Trump's former attorney and appointed by him as interim U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia to bring criminal cases against his enemies, which was objected to by longtime prosecutors.

After leaving the U.S. attorney's office in January following a judge's ruling that she had not been lawfully appointed, her cases against Trump's adversaries — including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James — were dismissed. Florida's bar association had reportedly sent a letter the previous month indicating that Halligan was under investigation.

A spokesperson for the Florida Bar Association told The Hill that there was no pending investigation into Halligan.
