Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan investigated in Florida

Lindsey Halligan, an attorney who has represented former United States President Donald Trump, became the subject of a professional conduct review by the Florida Bar in March 2024. The inquiry began after complaints were submitted concerning her activities related to legal matters connected to Trump. The Florida Bar regulates attorneys licensed to practice in the state and reviews allegations involving potential violations of professional ethics.

Halligan gained national attention after joining Trump's legal defense team during several legal proceedings following the end of his presidency. Earlier in her public career, she participated in beauty pageants and was crowned Miss Michigan USA in 2015 before entering the legal profession and working in private practice.

The Florida Bar's review process involves examining complaints, documentation, and communications to determine whether attorney conduct complies with professional standards. As of early March 2024, the matter was reported to be in a preliminary evaluation stage and no disciplinary decision had been publicly announced.
