Evidence
“Federal judges have found a number of U.S. attorneys whose appointments were the result of unusual legal maneuvers by the Trump administration to be serving unlawfully. Along with Mr. Sarcone, they include Alina Habba, who was the acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey, and Lindsey Halligan, formerly the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, as well as a handful of others. Mr. Sarcone has had a difficult relationship with the judges in his district, who declined to appoint him after his interim tenure expired in July.”
