The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas claims U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes is retaliating against a woman prosecutor after she won an appeal in a prior case, in which the Fifth Circuit found his remarks were “demeaning, inappropriate, and beneath the dignity of a federal judge."

Federal prosecutors in Texas allege that U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes retaliated against a woman prosecutor by kicking her out of his courtroom and barring her from representing the government in a jury trial this week.
Seeking to recuse the judge, assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari claimed Hughes was angry that she won an appeal in a previous criminal case last summer after alleging that he made sexist comments against her when the matter was at the trial court level.
