DOJ Removes Prosecutor from Office Handling Comey and James Cases

The Department of Justice has removed prosecutor Maggie Cleary from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, according to a source who spoke with CBS News. Cleary briefly led the office last month after former acting U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigned. She was subsequently replaced by Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide and personal lawyer to President Trump, who was sworn in as interim U.S. Attorney.
