A dramatic power struggle has erupted in New Jersey after federal judges voted to replace Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Alina Habba with Desiree Leigh Grace.
In a rare move, the Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, immediately fired Grace, defying the judges’ decision and escalating tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary. The controversy centers on accusations of politicization of the U.S. attorney’s office and concerns over judicial independence. New Jersey Democrats and legal experts have condemned the DOJ’s actions, warning of a constitutional crisis.
The standoff leaves the leadership of the state’s top federal prosecutor’s office in limbo and highlights deep divisions over the rule of law.
