PoliticsJudge rules Trump-appointed prosecutor in Los Angeles is serving unlawfully

A federal judge ruled that Republican Bill Essayli is unlawfully serving as Los Angeles’s top US prosecutor and barred him from participating in or supervising two criminal cases. The order is not immediately effective, and the Justice Department plans to appeal. The dispute concerns the Trump administration’s efforts to keep Essayli in office without Senate confirmation.
