🚨 BREAKING: JAMES COMEY FILES MOTION TO DISQUALIFY U.S. ATTORNEY LINDSEY HALLIGAN — CLAIMS HER ENTIRE APPOINTMENT IS ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW 💥

Former FBI Director James Comey has launched an extraordinary legal offensive — seeking to have federal prosecutor Lindsey Halligan disqualified from his ongoing case, arguing that her appointment as U.S. Attorney was never lawfully executed and that every action she has taken may now be invalid under federal law.

According to court filings obtained by [Your News Source], Comey’s legal team contends that Halligan’s appointment bypassed required confirmation procedures, raising serious constitutional questions about her authority to prosecute.

“This is not a matter of politics — it’s a matter of law,” the filing reads. “Ms. Halligan’s appointment was procedurally defective, and therefore, every indictment, motion, and filing issued under her authority is void.”

The motion immediately sent shockwaves through Washington’s legal circles, casting doubt on multiple active federal cases that Halligan has overseen since her appointment earlier this year.

⚖️ LEGAL BATTLE LOOMS

Federal law stipulates that interim U.S. Attorneys can only serve for 120 days without Senate confirmation. After that period, the position must be reauthorized or filled by a presidential nomination.
Comey’s motion argues that Halligan’s continued tenure violates that statute, and that her prosecutorial powers expired months ago.

The Justice Department has not yet issued an official response, but insiders describe the situation as “urgent and unprecedented.”

“If Comey wins this motion,” said one former DOJ official, “it could trigger a domino effect, forcing courts to revisit every decision Halligan has made since her appointment.”

🔥 POLITICAL FALLOUT

Halligan, a former attorney closely aligned with Trump-era prosecutors, was tapped earlier this year amid controversy over her handling of politically charged investigations.
Comey’s team insists this challenge is not partisan — but rather a defense of due process and the integrity of federal appointments.

Social media erupted within minutes of the filing, with hashtags like #ComeyVsHalligan and #InvalidAppointment trending nationwide.

📎 NEXT STEPS

A federal judge is expected to hold an emergency hearing later this week to determine whether Halligan can legally continue representing the government in the case.

If Comey prevails, the entire case could be thrown into chaos — and the Justice Department may be forced to defend the legality of several other U.S. Attorney appointments.
