New Jersey Judges Snub Trump's Pick to Run U.S. Attorney's Office
New Jersey's federal judges on Tuesday appointed a new U.S. attorney, pushing out temporary top prosecutor Alina Habba after a tumultuous four months on the job.
President Trump had picked Habba, his former private lawyer and White House counselor, for the job in March. Because her appointment was temporary, she could only stay in her post past the 120-day limit with approval from the district court judges, or if confirmed permanently by the Senate.
