US appeals court rules former Trump lawyer Alina Habba disqualified as New Jersey prosecutor
The 3rd Circuit ruled the Trump administration's tactics to retain Habba as acting U.S. attorney in New Jersey violated federal law, disqualifying her from prosecuting cases.
- A federal appeals court disqualified Alina Habba, a former Trump lawyer, from serving as the US Attorney for New Jersey.
- Earlier this year, federal judges in New Jersey replaced Habba as her interim term expired, and Pam Bondi, Attorney General, reinstalled her amid refusal from Cory Booker and Andy Kim, U.S. Senators from New Jersey.
- The court ruled that Habba's appointment violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and the Trump administration's attempt to install her was improper.
- The ruling could have nationwide implications for federal prosecutors installed in a similar manner as Habba.
