California Court Disqualifies Trump-Appointed US Attorney, Shaking Up Legal Landscape

In a significant ruling, a federal judge has removed President Trump’s choice for the chief federal prosecutor in Los Angeles from several cases, citing the unlawful nature of his temporary appointment. This decision underscores ongoing challenges within the administration related to the confirmation of its appointees through the standard congressional process.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright determined that Bill Essayli, who has been serving as the acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, should have vacated the role by the end of July. This deadline marked the conclusion of his 120-day interim term, which had not been extended or confirmed through proper channels.

Essayli’s case is not isolated, as he becomes the third appointee under the Trump administration to face criticism for overstaying their appointment without formal confirmation. This pattern highlights the administration’s ongoing difficulties in securing congressional approval for its candidates.
