Federal Judge Pauses Order Disqualifying US Attorney for Nevada
A federal judge has paused his order disqualifying the acting U.S. attorney for Nevada from overseeing several criminal cases.
The government's motion to stay the ruling against Sigal Chattah's appointment was granted by Judge Campbell, pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit.
- Chattah was initially appointed by President Donald Trump as Nevada's interim U.S. attorney.
- She was later reclassified as the "acting" U.S. attorney, bypassing the Senate confirmation process.
Federal public defenders argued that the workaround violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
Judge Campbell, a senior judge for the district of Arizona, initially sided with the federal public defenders in an order issued last month.
