Lindsey Halligan, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is under investigation by the Florida Bar, according to a letter obtained by The Hill.

The investigation stems from complaints filed by Campaign for Accountability, a watchdog organization. The Florida Bar sent correspondence to the executive director of the group last month regarding the matter.

Halligan served as U.S. attorney during the Trump administration and was appointed to prosecute various criminal cases. Her tenure included bringing cases against individuals who were considered political opponents of former President Trump.

The Florida Bar is the organization responsible for licensing attorneys to practice law in the state. Bar investigations typically examine whether attorneys have violated professional conduct rules or ethical standards governing legal practice.

Details about the specific nature of the complaints against Halligan or the scope of the Florida Bar's investigation have not been disclosed. The investigation is currently ongoing, and no conclusions have been reached regarding any potential violations of professional conduct rules.
