Fed up judge drops major warning on Trump prosecutor - Brian Tyler Cohen

Brian speaks with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News about a ruling made against Lindsey Halligan. Meanwhile, a job posting for the U.S. Attorney position to replace Halligan has appeared.

====================

Judge David Novak, a Trump appointee in the Eastern District of Virginia, issued a scathing 18-page ruling condemning U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for misrepresenting her title and violating court orders. He described her actions as a "masquerade" and warned that further violations would lead to disciplinary proceedings, citing her inexperience but refusing to overlook the misconduct.

The judge criticized the Department of Justice, including Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche, for using inflammatory, cable news-style rhetoric in legal filings and accused Halligan of an "unhealthy obsession" with Jack Smith. He emphasized that the rule of law is at risk and made it clear that he will not tolerate disrespect toward the judiciary. While Trump could potentially pardon Halligan, the judge stated he would refer her to the state bar for disciplinary action, which is outside the president’s jurisdiction. The ruling has broader implications, potentially serving as a precedent for other districts where unlawfully appointed U.S. attorneys are still active, and highlights growing tensions between the DOJ and federal judges.
