Lindsey Halligan, the top prosecutor appointed by President Donald Trump in the Eastern District of Virginia, told a federal judge Tuesday she can persist in calling herself the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia following a different judge’s ruling that she had been unlawfully installed to the post.
Her defense came in court filings in response to U.S. District Judge David Novak’s order last week, which ordered her to explain why her representations in court papers do not represent a “false or misleading statement,” which he suggested could result in disciplinary measures.
