Florida Bar denies investigation into Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan

AI Summary

long article 4 min

The Florida Bar has retracted a previous statement indicating an investigation into Lindsey Halligan, a former lawyer for Donald Trump. This reversal follows a February letter from the Bar to the Campaign for Accountability, a government watchdog group, which stated an investigation was pending regarding concerns about Halligan's professional conduct. The Campaign for Accountability had filed a complaint against Halligan, citing potential violations of professional standards. However, the Florida Bar now claims the February letter was inaccurate and denies any ongoing probe. Halligan's brief tenure as a US attorney was marked by controversy, including allegations of misusing prosecutorial powers after her predecessor was dismissed for resisting demands to indict Trump's critics.
