A major showdown erupted in New Jersey as federal judges voted to remove Alina Habba, a former Trump lawyer, from her role as interim U.S. attorney.
Despite strong backing from the Trump administration and law enforcement allies, judges declined to extend her controversial term, citing concerns over her appointment and tenure. The judges quickly named Desiree Leigh Grace as her replacement, but the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, fired Grace just hours later, escalating tensions between the judiciary and the executive branch. The episode highlights deep divisions over political appointments and the independence of the federal judiciary.
The future leadership of New Jersey's top federal prosecutor's office remains uncertain amid ongoing political infighting.
