In a Thursday opinion, Judge David Campbell ruled that he stood by his disqualification decision, but was staying his earlier ruling. It means that Chattah will temporarily be able to stay involved in certain cases her office is prosecuting

Still, the judge noted that evidence provided by Gilbert raises “serious questions of fact about the accuracy of Plaintiff’s allegations. However, the Court is bound, at this stage, to accept these allegations as true.”

Judge David Campbell wrote in a 32-page ruling that he is disqualifying Chattah from supervising prosecutions against four people who had challenged their indictments brought after the Department of Justice designated her as the state’s acting U.S. attorney. 

The DOJ’s investigation, at least the second federal probe into the school this year, is intended to investigate whether the university “has denied equal treatment of individuals based on race or national origin,” in violation of federal civil rights law.

A federal judge in Las Vegas promised to make a decision by the end of the month, which is Tuesday, after oral arguments on a case challenging the legality of acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah’s position without Senate confirmation.

In three federal court filings last week, the office argued that President Donald Trump’s administration pursued illegal “personnel maneuvers” that allowed Chattah to remain Nevada’s top federal law enforcement officer after her first stint as the interim U.S. attorney expired.

Permitting bad actors to take advantage of the gullible destroys public trust while enriching those who can most convincingly lie to the desperate. They should be punished for their opportunism.

In 2022, Chattah and Gilbert filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a Reno hospital for allegedly administering the COVID-19 treatment drug Remdesivir, which they said led to a man’s death. A new lawsuit says it wasn't administered.

A Jewish UNLV student’s lawsuit claiming the university, state higher education system and a host of pro-Palestinian groups fostered an antisemitic environment has faced legal setbacks, including a move for sanctions filed at the start of August, but is still pending 15 months after being filed.

Acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah appears to have quietly left her position as Nevada's Republican National Committee committeewoman. Department of Justice employees are expected to remain politically neutral.

The extension made under the Vacancies Reform Act came before Chattah’s temporary 120-day tenure was set to expire on Tuesday, after which judges for the U.S. District Court of Nevada would have had the opportunity to appoint Chattah or another candidate of their choice to the role.

In a unanimous opinion released Monday, the three-member panel of judges unanimously dismissed the suit brought by four former poll and ballot counting observers, who were represented in the case by Sigal Chattah, the new interim U.S. attorney for the District of Nevada, the state’s highest federal law enforcement officer. 

Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada Sigal Chattah has yet to publicly resign her position as the state’s Republican national committeewoman and was introduced virtually at a state party meeting Saturday, potentially violating Department of Justice rules against its employees participating in political activities.

Cortez Masto and Rosen have demonstrated that they are capable of learning — at a passable level, if not necessarily one that deserves honors — what the present moment calls for. Acceptable work, senators. You are presently meeting expectations.

But while the stakes may not be what they were nearly six months after the Declaration of Independence was signed — or so we can hope — what is happening now in this country should be disturbing to anyone paying attention and seeing without partisan blinders.

Chattah, the Republican National Committeewoman for Nevada, has long been an ally of President Donald Trump. She has filed numerous lawsuits challenging Nevada’s election laws, including representing the state Republican Party in its efforts to cancel the 2024 Republican presidential primary and challenging a state law aimed at protecting election workers.

In times of heightened political tension that has resulted in violence during the past few years, examining the power of words and rhetoric in shaping our civic life is crucial. Extreme language can set dangerous events in motion. 

Now retired, living in Southern Nevada since 2021, and worth as much as $74 million, O’Donnell is attempting to use the wealth he acquired from his musical ambitions to make his political ones possible.
