A federal judge disqualified attorney Bill Essayli, who was temporarily appointed to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California, from three cases after ruling he had stayed in the job as an appointee longer than allowed by law.
Democrats are continuing to block Essayli’s confirmation, along with nearly 100 others, in the U.S. Senate, prompting a handful of similar lawsuits from people looking to dismiss indictments across the nation.
