Lindsey Halligan, who has served as acting U.S. attorney for the district of Eastern Virginia, is leaving the post after the Senate failed to confirm her nomination by President Donald Trump.
“During her 120-day tenure as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan served with the utmost distinction and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a statement, citing Halligan’s work to prosecute “violent criminal illegal aliens, murderers, and child abusers” during her time in the role.
