The attorney general blasts judges for not allowing Alina Habba, a Trump ally, to continue leading the U.S. attorney’s office.

This Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges — especially when they threaten the President’s core Article II powers,” the attorney general said.

President Trump’s pick for New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, Alina Habba, said Thursday she would continue on in the position despite a judicial decision declining to extend her

President Donald Trump has moved to keep his former defense attorney Alina Habba on the job as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, even though a panel of judges refused to extend her tenure. Habba's term was set to expire this week,

Habba signaled that she does not plan to leave her role as the temporary U.S. attorney of New Jersey, announcing she does "not cower" to pressure.

The Trump administration believes it has found a workaround to keep the president’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney and outflank federal judges who sought to replace her.

A legal standoff over Alina Habba’s expired term sparked a power struggle between Trump’s DOJ and federal judges over who controls New Jersey’s top prosecutor.
