DEVELOPING: Trump Nominates White House Aide to Lead Office Investigating Letitia James in High-Profile Power Shift.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Nominates White House Aide to Lead Office Investigating Letitia James President Donald Trump has nominated senior White House aide Lindsey Halligan as the top federal prosecutor for the Virginia office investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James. The nomination was announced on social media just after Trump left the White House for an event at Mount Vernon. Halligan, a special assistant to the president, is set to take over as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, replacing the previous prosecutor who was pushed out on Friday. Trump praised Halligan's qualifications, saying she will be "Fair, Smart, and will provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!" This move comes amid a power shift in the office, which has been investigating James' office over its handling of a tax case involving Trump's business dealings. The nomination is seen as a significant development in the ongoing probe. Background: The Eastern District of Virginia has been at the center of several high-profile investigations, including those into Trump's associates and allies. Halligan's appointment raises questions about her independence from the White House and her ability to lead an impartial investigation. The nomination is subject to Senate confirmation, which could take weeks or even months. In the meantime, Halligan will assume her new role as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.
