Federal judges in Rhode Island have appointed a special counsel to investigate a Justice Department lawyer, local U.S. Attorney civil division head Kevin Bolan, for lying to, and subsequently about, a judge in that district.

This follows extensive reporting that the administration withheld critical information about a potentially dangerous immigration detainee, to trick that judge into releasing him from custody — all so the Trump administration could attack the judge for it.

"Acting on advice from the Homeland Security Department, Bolan had withheld information from Judge Melissa R. DuBose that a detainee was wanted for homicide overseas," noted The New York Times, Mattathias Schwartz. "After DuBose ordered that the detainee, an undocumented immigrant, be released on bond, the department publicly attacked her as an 'activist Biden judge' for releasing someone 'wanted for murder,' the very information that they had instructed Bolan to hold back."
