A federal judge has barred Lindsey Halligan, a lawyer closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, from appearing in court after ruling that her Department of Justice appointment was unlawful.
The decision marks a significant legal setback and has sent ripples through Washington, where the move is being viewed as a sharp rebuke of the administration’s appointment process.
As a result of the ruling, several high-profile cases linked to Halligan’s role were effectively halted, including actions involving former FBI Director James Comey and other prominent figures.
Critics argue the outcome underscores concerns about politicization within the justice system, while Trump allies have denounced the decision as judicial overreach.

The fallout has intensified partisan tensions, with legal analysts warning that the ruling could open the door to broader challenges involving similar appointments.
Behind the scenes, attention is now shifting to whether additional cases—or unexpected figures—may soon be pulled into the expanding legal controversy.
