Habba’s term as the interim U.S. attorney expired this week, and since the Senate never voted to confirm her, it was up to federal judges in the state to vote to extend her term—which they declined to do, instead appointing her deputy Desiree Leigh Grace to fill the role on Tuesday.

The Department of Justice quickly fired the newly named US attorney in New Jersey on Tuesday after federal judges in the state declined to extend Alina Habba’s interim appointment.

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.

The DOJ has said Grace was removed as the U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey hours after she was chosen over Habba.

Habba’s disastrous tenure as a federal prosecutor appeared to be over — until Donald Trump and Pam Bondi came up with a scheme to keep her in place.

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