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

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.

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, on Thursday said she would continue on in the position despite a judicial decision declining to extend her

Trump appears to be using the same playbook he did with a New York federal prosecutor appointee to extend Habba’s term as U.S. attorney for New Jersey — a position that usually requires Senate confirmation.

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.
