Lindsey Halligan — the new acting U.S. attorney who signed Comey’s indictment — was profiled by @maurajudkis.bsky.social back in April, when she prompted Trump’s executive order on the Smithsonian. Background on her: wapo.st/46m4WaY
She told Trump the Smithsonian needs changing. He’s ordered her to do it.
