Rare card · No. 59071

Bilal Ali "Bill" Essayli (born November 24, 1985) is an American lawyer and politician who currently serves as the first assistant United States attorney for the Central District of California. He previously served as the interim United States attorney for the Central District of California from April to July 2025. A federal judge ruled that he had illegally served as the acting US Attorney. Essayli was disqualified from holding the position because he stayed on beyond the initial interim period without having received official congressional approval, and was immediately reassigned to the First Assistant United States Attorney role. Essayli served as a member of the California State Assembly from 2022 until 2025. A Republican, he was the first Muslim elected to the state assembly, where he represented the 63rd district, which includes Canyon Lake, Corona, Eastvale, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Norco, Riverside, Temescal Valley, and Woodcrest.
