Abortion Showdown\">high-stakes clash<\/a> between President Trump\u2019s Justice Department and the federal judiciary over who runs U.S. attorney offices after vacancies has intensified across the United States. What began as a dispute over a few interim prosecutors has evolved into a broader separation-of-powers fight that could reach the Supreme Court. Of 93 U.S. attorney offices, about two-thirds are currently led by interim or acting prosecutors who have not been confirmed by the senate, leaving large parts of the federal prosecutorial apparatus under temporary leadership.<\/p>\n<p>At the center is the 4th U.S. circuit Court of Appeals,where the Trump administration is seeking to revive prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James that were dismissed because interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey halligan was unlawfully appointed. The government argues that the attorney general can appoint successive 120-day interim leaders and that Halligan\u2019s authority-or her later ratification by Attorney General Pam Bondi-should allow the indictments to stand. Opponents, however, contend that the courts are enforcing statutory limits on interim appointments and that the president\u2019s power to appoint must be checked by Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Judges in Virginia, New Jersey, Utah, Wisconsin, and other states have pushed back by declining to extend interim leadership, or by reorganizing offices, signaling a broader unwillingness to rubber-stamp temporary arrangements. Critics warn that these fights threaten the constitutional balance and public confidence in federal prosecutions, while the administration maintains that the executive branch should control leadership when confirmations stall.<\/p>\n<p>Ther are early signs of movement in the Senate, with nominations for Utah and Alabama advancing in committee, suggesting some progress toward filling vacancies. Nonetheless,with key cases like the Halligan appeal and other interim-appointment disputes likely to continue in higher courts,the battle over interim U.S. attorney appointments is far from resolved.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Tensions and deadlocks over Trump&rsquo;s US attorney picks hit fever pitch<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2535300\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A power struggle between President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-justice\/\">Justice Department<\/a> and the federal judiciary that has built up for months hit a fever pitch in courtrooms across the country last week.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a dispute over a handful of interim prosecutors is now feeding into a broader separation-of-powers clash that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4434461\/doj-ask-supreme-court-consider-trump-appointed-us-attorneys\/\">seems destined<\/a> for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\">Supreme Court<\/a> review, with the central question being whether the president can effectively control who leads U.S. attorney offices when Senate confirmations stall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/4499706\/democrats-lambaste-trump-response-mueller-death\/\">Democrats lambaste Trump&#8217;s response to Robert Mueller&#8217;s death<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4499145\/doj-officers-accused-falsifying-breonna-taylor-warrant\/\">DOJ seeks charges dismissed for two officers accused of falsifying Breonna Taylor warrant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4498807\/justice-department-sues-harvard-university-antisemitism-flourishing-campus\/\">Justice Department sues Harvard for allowing &#8216;flourish&#8217; of antisemitism on campus<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &ndash; Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks with reporters during a news conference at the Department of Justice, Nov. 19, 2025, in Washington.

However, of the 93 U.S. attorney offices, 62 are now being run by interim or acting prosecutors who have not been confirmed by the Senate, leaving much of the federal prosecutorial apparatus under temporary leadership.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-controversial-prosecutions-in-the-crosshairs\">Controversial prosecutions in the crosshairs<\/h2>\n<p>The most immediate legal test sits in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\">Trump administration<\/a> is trying to revive dismissed prosecutions against former FBI Director <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comey\/\">James Comey<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\/\">New York<\/a> Attorney General <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/letitia-james\/\">Letitia James<\/a> (D).<\/p>\n<p>But that effort is already bogged down.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal, stemming from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3897002\/james-comey-letitia-james-indictments-tossed-lindsey-halligan\/\">a November dismissal<\/a> by Senior U.S. Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee, has triggered a flood of filings in recent days. Even so, the case is moving at a slow, deliberate pace that could stretch for months. One attorney involved in the case said oral arguments may not be scheduled until September, nearly a year after the original indictment.<\/p>\n<p>University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> the delay is not unusual, pointing to the court&rsquo;s calendar and procedural pace rather than any single strategic decision.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They don&rsquo;t sit in the summer for oral arguments except emergencies,&rdquo; Tobias said. &ldquo;So it just backs up. That&rsquo;s just the rhythm of the court.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That timeline presents a problem for the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Trump&rsquo;s DOJ ultimately prevails, the drawn-out appellate process risks blunting any political or legal effect of the prosecutions. Appeals court proceedings unfold largely out of public view and are unlikely to surface new evidence, instead focusing on narrow legal questions about the president&rsquo;s appointment authority and prosecutorial power.<\/p>\n<p>The underlying case against Comey has faced headwinds from the start. A grand jury indicted him over alleged false statements he made during a 2020 congressional hearing, but critics, including several outside groups now weighing in, have described the prosecution as politically motivated and legally weak.<\/p>\n<p>Currie ultimately dismissed the case not on those grounds, but because she found <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">that the interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\">Virginia<\/a>, Lindsey Halligan,<\/span> had been unlawfully appointed. That same ruling also wiped out the separate mortgage fraud case against the sitting New York attorney general.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &ndash; Lindsey Halligan, outside of the White House, Aug. 20, 2025, in Washington.

It also contends that even if Halligan&rsquo;s appointment were defective, the indictments should stand because she had authority to act as a government attorney and because Attorney General <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pam-bondi\/\">Pam Bondi<\/a> later ratified the charges.<\/p>\n<p>That appeal is quickly becoming the central battleground in a wider legal fight.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two weeks, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/docket\/72065969\/united-states-v-james-comey-jr\/?filed_after=&amp;filed_before=&amp;entry_gte=&amp;entry_lte=&amp;order_by=desc\">a wave of amicus briefs<\/a> from former lawmakers, prosecutors, and judges has urged the 4th Circuit to uphold the dismissal, warning that the administration is attempting to sidestep statutory limits on interim appointments. One filing argued the executive branch had &ldquo;run roughshod&rdquo; over the rules governing U.S. attorney appointments, while another warned that allowing such practices would undermine public confidence in federal prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p>Some opponents also <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3902396\/appeals-court-alina-habba-unlawfully-served-new-jersey-prosecutor\/\">point to a December ruling from the 3rd Circuit <\/a>that upheld the disqualification of Alina Habba as acting U.S. attorney in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-jersey\/\">New Jersey<\/a>, suggesting the 4th Circuit may follow a similar path.<\/p>\n<p>The same institutional tension exploded this week in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>During a sentencing hearing on Monday, U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/03\/17\/nyregion\/judge-quraishi-new-jersey-attorneys-office.html\">ejected the office&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-invites-outside-argument-in-eric-adams-case-instead-of-dropping-charges-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Judge invites outside argument in Eric Adams ... instead of dropping charges - Washington Examiner\">top appellate lawyer<\/a> <\/a>from the courtroom and ordered three officials designated to lead the office to testify under oath about who is actually in charge. The confrontation came <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4485964\/trump-leadership-new-jersey-us-attorney-office\/\">just days after another judge<\/a> ruled that the three-person leadership structure installed after Habba&rsquo;s disqualification was itself unlawful, although that decision has been paused pending appeal.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The unconstitutionality of this complete overreach into the Executive Branch, time and time again, will not succeed,&rdquo; Habba wrote in a March 9 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlinaHabba\/status\/2031085185983197357\">post on X<\/a>. &ldquo;They would rather have no U.S. Attorney than safety for the people of NJ.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Quraishi pressed prosecutors on whether Habba, now a senior adviser to Bondi, still exerted influence over the office. Habba denied running it, while DOJ forcefully defended its view that Trump has the final say on who leads these offices.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Judges do not pick U.S. attorneys &mdash; President Trump does. This Department of Justice will continue to defend our qualified and capable prosecutors who are working to make America safe again,&rdquo; a DOJ spokesperson said earlier this month.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-battle-over-executive-power\">A battle over executive power<\/h2>\n<p>Similar disputes have continued cropping up in federal jurisdictions across the country.<\/p>\n<p>In <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/utah\/\">Utah<\/a>, interim U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak, a Trump appointee who has the support of the state&rsquo;s two U.S. senators, was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/bench-memos\/a-judicial-coup-in-utah\/\">moved to a subordinate role<\/a> after judges declined to extend her tenure despite her pending Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Tobias said those decisions likely reflect judges sticking closely to the statute and reacting to how the administration has handled past appointments.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re just doing that and following the law as best they can,&rdquo; Tobias said, pointing to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/28\/546\">28 U.S.C. &sect; 546<\/a>, which gives courts discretion over whether to extend interim appointments. &ldquo;They &lsquo;may&rsquo; [extend it], but they don&rsquo;t have to.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He added that judges may also be reluctant to appoint interim leaders only to see them quickly removed. That&rsquo;s in part due to a recent pattern of judges appointing U.S. attorneys when an interim&rsquo;s 120-day period has expired, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4466268\/lawyer-chosen-federal-prosecutor-virginia-fired\/\">only for those attorneys to be fired<\/a> via a social media post by Deputy Attorney General <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/todd-blanche\/\">Todd Blanche<\/a>, who maintains that only Trump should decide who leads the 92 U.S. attorneys&rsquo; offices across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Tobias suggested the judges in Utah might be trying to say, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t make us appoint somebody and put them on a chopping block within 24 hours,&rdquo; Tobias said. &ldquo;Nominate somebody and put them through the process and let the Senate decide.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wisconsin\/\">Wisconsin<\/a>, judges likewise declined to keep former state Attorney General Brad Schimel in place after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/habbas-us-attorney-appointment-faces-uphill-battle\/\" title=\"Habba\u2019s US ... ...ment faces uphill battle\">interim term expired<\/a>, opting instead to wait for a Senate-confirmed nominee.

The administration sees that as judicial overreach.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats and other critics of the administration&rsquo;s strategy counter that the Constitution&rsquo;s appointments clause includes necessary checks that require &ldquo;Advice and Consent of the Senate,&rdquo; which they say the Trump administration is seeking to leapfrog.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these repeated setbacks, there are early signs of movement on the confirmation front in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate Judiciary Committee <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.judiciary.senate.gov\/press\/rep\/releases\/03\/12\/2026\/judiciary-committee-advances-two-us-attorney-nominees\">last week advanced the nomination<\/a> of Melissa Holyoak to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Utah by a 12-10 vote, along with Phillip Williams Jr. for the Northern District of Alabama.
