The Justice Department is fighting to keep President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Alina Habba, in place as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey after a panel of judges refused to extend her tenure and appointed someone else to the job.

New Jersey judges picked their own nominee to replace Trump’s personal attorney as the state’s top prosecutor. Then Pam Bondi fired her, sparking the most direct attack on the judiciary yet, Alex Wood

President Donald Trump selected Alina Habba to continue running the US Attorney’s Office in New Jersey on a temporary basis, the latest twist in a succession drama after federal judges had picked her top assistant to take her place.

Trump doubles down on Alina Habba's nomination for U.S. attorney in New Jersey after federal judges declined to extend her interim term, creating confusion over who will assume the role.

As Alina Habba gives up her U.S. attorney post, it's worth remembering that Donald Trump never should've appointed her in the first place.

On Tuesday, New Jersey federal judges decided to fire Alina Habba, refusing to vote to extend her 120-day appointment as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, leading to uproar from the right. Now, the Trump administration seems to have found a loophole to keep one of their most loyal operatives back into a powerful position.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi continues on her mission to weaken the Department of Justice for the sake of Trump's vanity.
