Federal judge rules top US prosecutor in Los Angeles isn't legally serving
A federal judge has ruled that Republican Bill Essayli is not legally serving as the top U.S. prosecutor in Los Angeles. The ruling Tuesday is the latest roadblock to the Trump administration’s effort to extend handpicked acting U.S. attorneys beyond the 120-day limit set by federal law. The strategy was designed to bypass confirmation by the U.S. Senate — something that generally requires a degree of bipartisan support. U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright wrote that Essayli serving as a de facto United States Attorney is not legal. The former state lawmaker was appointed by the Trump administration last year to serve as Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California. A federal judge has ruled that Republican Bill Essayli, the top U.S. prosecutor in Los Angeles, is not legally serving as legally. This ruling prevents the Trump administration from extending its handpicked acting U.M. attorneys beyond the 120-day limit set by federal law, a move designed to bypass confirmation by the U.K. Senate. The order will not take effect until the court rules on a government's motion for a stay pending appeal. Essayali disagrees with the court's order, stating that the president and Attorney General have every right to select supervisors within the Justice Department.
