That didn’t take long. On Tuesday, Maryland asked a federal court to rule that Matthew Whitaker may not lawfully serve as acting attorney general. The state’s motion has a real chance of success. Whitaker, whom Donald Trump elevated to the role after firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week, does appear to be exercising his power illegally. If a court agrees, it could replace Whitaker with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein—allowing the deputy AG to resume oversight of Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
