At a hearing with Pam Bondi, Jerry Nadler says Lindsey Halligan, "Trump's former defense lawyer who had never prosecuted a case," replaced Mr. Siebert and sought to indict James, and a court dismissed that indictment because Halligan was illegally put in the role. He says grand juries declined to indict in just six cases out of over 150,000 offenses in 2016. "That must have been humiliating."

And obviously, you followed that order. Lindsey Halligan, Trump's former defense lawyer who had never prosecuted a case in her life, was installed to replace Mr. Siebert and was clear that part of her mandate was to go after Ms. James. Halligan immediately sought an indictment, which court dismissed because Halligan was illegally put into the row. But your Your department was undeterred, and not once, but twice, it tried to indict Attorney General James in separate courts. Both grand juries rejected you and refused to indict her. It is practically unheard of for a grand jury to refuse an indictment. In 2016, it happened in just six cases out of over 150 ,000 offenses. And you had it happen twice in the same week, in two different courts. That must have been humiliating. And now they report that he was continuing to investigate her.
