Conservative lawyer Bill Essayli not entitled to stay on as U.S. attorney for Los Angeles, justice finds

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on the same court ruling that Bill Essayli was serving unlawfully and was disqualified from leading the U.S. attorney’s office in Southern California. The Guardian US foregrounds his Trump and GOP ties and the judge’s wording that he had not been confirmed by the Senate, while The Independent frames him more generally as a “top Trump prosecutor” and says he is not entitled to stay on as U.S. attorney for Los Angeles.
