Former Trump lawyer Alina Habba to remain New Jersey prosecutor despite court decision
NEW JERSEY, JUL 24 – Alina Habba remains acting U.S. Attorney despite judges' vote, as Trump withdrew her nomination allowing her to serve for at least 210 more days, officials said.
- President Donald Trump withdrew Alina Habba's July 1 nomination and transitioned her from interim to acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey this week.
- The withdrawal happened after a panel of federal judges declined to extend Habba's tenure and appointed Desiree Grace as her successor.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi swiftly dismissed Grace and accused the judges of being politically motivated and attempting to undermine presidential authority.
- Habba has pursued prosecutions including a 30-member drug ring and an ongoing case against a congresswoman, while facing opposition from Democratic senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim.
- This dispute highlights an ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and courts over presidential control of U.S. attorneys and Justice Department leadership.
