Trump nominates aide—Is this revenge against Letitia James, and why?
Former White House aide Lindsey Halligan has been nominated. Trump intends to appoint her as the top US prosecutor. This move targets the office investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James. The nomination signals a potential shift in legal strategy.
Halligan previously served as special counsel to former President Trump. She also worked on cases related to the 2020 election. According to reports, over 80% of federal judicial nominees confirmed since 2017 were Trump appointees.
The appointment comes as Trump faces ongoing legal challenges. James's office is investigating his business practices. This nomination raises concerns about potential political interference.
This action could significantly impact the ongoing investigations. Future legal battles are expected as the situation unfolds.
