US EditionAlina Habba, Trump's pick for US attorney for New Jersey, steps down
Alina Habba resigned after a court ruled her appointment unlawful; she will remain senior adviser while the DOJ seeks to reverse the ruling.
- On Monday, Alina Habba announced she is resigning as acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey after a federal appeals court concluded her appointment was unlawful.
- Habba's March appointment prompted months of litigation over U.S. Senate confirmation amid Trump administration efforts to install loyalist prosecutors.
- Her duties will be split among three lawyers while she remains as a senior adviser to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who said `Alina intends to return to lead the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey if this occurs.`
- Judges in New Jersey paused trials and delayed proceedings, creating confusion and pauses in prosecutions, while Pam Bondi, U.S. Attorney General, said the appeals-court ruling made Habba's position untenable.
- The resignation may leave uncertain the fate of other U.S. attorneys with challenged appointments and high-profile cases affected by appointment disputes, including matters referenced alongside Comey and Letitia James cases.
