AG Bondi 追溯点名 Halligan 以修复有问题的起诉权，但合法性现在在法庭上。 AG Bondi retroactively named Halligan to fix questionable prosecution authority, but legality is now in court.

10月31日, Pam Bondi 总检察长追溯性地以Lindsey Halligan为弗吉尼亚东区特别检察官, 试图在法院质疑James Coomey和Letitia James初次临时任命的合法性后, 证实她起诉James Coomey和Letitia James的权力。 Attorney General Pam Bondi retroactively named Lindsey Halligan Special Attorney for Virginia’s Eastern District on October 31, attempting to validate her authority to prosecute James Comey and Letitia James after a court questioned the legality of her initial interim appointment. 这一举动基于对联邦法律的有争议的解释,试图批准Halligan先前的行动,包括起诉书签名,但法律专家和机构认为追溯性任命和权力在法律上是不健全的,破坏了法治。 The move, based on disputed interpretations of federal law, seeks to ratify Halligan’s prior actions, including indictment signatures, but legal experts and institutions argue retroactive appointments and authority are legally unsound and undermine the rule of law. 联邦法官将于11月13日就驳回这些案件的动议作出裁决。 A federal judge is set to rule on motions to dismiss the cases on November 13.
