A dramatic power struggle has erupted in New Jersey over who controls the top federal prosecutor's office.
After federal judges refused to extend the term of Alina Habba, a Trump ally and former defense lawyer, the Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi intervened, firing the judges' court-appointed replacement. This unprecedented standoff pits the executive branch against the judiciary, raising questions about the limits of presidential power and the independence of the Justice Department. The conflict has drawn sharp criticism from New Jersey Democrats and threatens to undermine public trust in the rule of law.
The outcome could set a significant precedent for the balance of power between the courts and the White House.
