Florida Bar denies investigation into Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan
Al Jazeera
The statement from the Florida Bar appears to contradict a letter it issued in February, suggesting a probe into Halligan’s work.
The Florida Bar, a regulatory body for legal professionals in the state, has walked back a statement indicating there was an investigation into Lindsey Halligan, a former United States attorney under President Donald Trump.
On Friday, Jennifer Krell Davis, a spokesperson for the bar association, issued a clarification to US media, denying any probe.
Reports of an investigation emerged in February amid an exchange between the bar and the Campaign for Accountability, a government watchdog.
The group had accused Halligan of violating standards for professional conduct in law.
A letter from the Florida Bar acknowledged that the bar had been “monitoring” concerns about Halligan’s work in the Trump administration. “We already have an investigation pending,” the February letter said.
