Attorney General Pam Bondi retroactively gave Eastern Virginia’s top prosecutor an extra title in an effort to withstand claims she was illegally serving when bringing charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi gave interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan of the Eastern District of Virginia the additional job title, the government said in court papers aimed at defense attacks on the legitimacy of Halligan's actions.

In a remarkable filing in both the Jim Comey and Letitia James cases, Attorney General Pam Bondi submitted a document she signed on Halloween — more than a month after Comey’s indictment — declaring that she was retroactively ratifying everything that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan had done to secure the two indictments.

The attorney retroactively appointed Halligan as a “special attorney” to protect the indictments against James Comey and Letitia James.

A federal judge said she didn't receive a complete record of former FBI Director James Comey's indictment and gave the DOJ one day to fill in the blanks.

President Donald Trump’s personal vendetta against James Comey did not lead to his indictment, the Justice Department said in a court filing Monday, urging a judge not to throw out the charges against the former FBI director over Trump’s extraordinary social media post calling for his prosecution.

Wallace ripped into the Trump-picked interim U.S. attorney after the latter reportedly sent grand jury information to a legal reporter.

According to the DOJ, questions about Lindsey Halligan's appointment are now legally irrelevant, because of a memo AG Bondi signed on Halloween.
