DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY, JUL 21 – Alina Habba's 120-day interim term ends amid internal dissent and political clashes, with federal judges set to decide her future amid opposition from New Jersey Democrats.

- Judges in New Jersey are meeting Monday to decide her tenure, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche backing her and Hakeem Jeffries calling for removal.
- If judges retain her, she could serve through the Trump presidency, and she faces trial on November 10, 2025.
