The Florida Bar Association has admitted it “erroneously” claimed there was an ongoing investigation into former acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a fearless Trump appointee who dared to go after deep state darlings like James Comey and Letitia James.
The stunning reversal comes after multiple fake news outlets, including NBC News, The Washington Post and others, reported that the state bar was investigating Halligan following ethics complaints from the left-wing watchdog group Campaign for Accountability (CfA).
As The Gateway Pundit has extensively reported, Halligan was hand-picked by President Trump to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after the previous officeholder dragged his feet on prosecuting Trump’s political enemies.
She wasted no time bringing charges against disgraced former FBI Director James Comey for lying to Congress and New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud, cases that career prosecutors had warned were weak, but which exposed the rot in the system.
Of course, Clinton-appointed Judge Cameron McGowan Currie tossed both cases, ruling Halligan’s appointment invalid in a blatant act of judicial activism. The DOJ promptly appealed this outrageous decision, as we detailed in our coverage last December.
But the attacks didn’t stop there. Radical watchdog group Campaign for Accountability – a Soros-funded outfit notorious for targeting conservatives, filed ethics complaints against Halligan, whining that her actions violated “ethics rules.”
Three activist judges piled on, accusing her of misconduct in a desperate bid to smear a woman who actually tried to drain the swamp.
We at The Gateway Pundit called this out early, highlighting the pattern of judicial overreach in our December piece, “How Three Judges Dismantled a Federal Indictment: Judicial Overreach in United States v. Comey.”
On Friday, the Florida Bar Association was forced to tuck its tail and admit on Friday that there is NO ongoing investigation into former Acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.
In a statement to The Hill, Bar Communications Director Jennifer Krell Davis admitted, “In response to an inquiry from a complainant, The Florida Bar wrote a letter to the complainant erroneously stating that there is a pending Bar investigation of member Lindsay Halligan. There is no such pending Bar investigation of Lindsay Halligan… In this case, The Florida Bar received a complaint against Lindsay Halligan and, consistent with standard practice, the Bar is monitoring the ongoing legal proceedings underlying the complaint.”
The Campaign for Accountability, not satisfied with their failed smear, whined in a statement obtained by Just the News:
“CfA has not heard directly from the Florida Bar, but it’s hard to reconcile this latest statement with the bar counsel’s previous letter saying there is an investigation pending. If there is no longer an investigation into Halligan, the question is why not, given that three judges indicated she engaged in conduct that appears to violate ethics rules.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi blasted the claims of a Bar investigation, calling the narrative completely fabricated.
Bondi wrote on X:
“The Florida Bar ‘investigation’ of Lindsey Halligan is totally fake news. Lindsey not only did nothing wrong — she did a great job!”
