Trump's NJ Attorney Not Retained by Federal Judges

Judges on the U.S. District Court of New Jersey, have Declined to Retain Trump’s (R) Pick for the State’s Top Federal Prosecutor, Alina Habba, as the clock on Her interim Status Runs-Out.

In a Terse Standing Order, the Court tapped Attorney Desiree Leigh Grace to Lead the Office, hours before the Expiration of Habba’s 120-day Temporary Term. The Appointment is Effective as of Tuesday, according to the Order Signed by U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb, the District’s Cchief Judge.

Habba, who served as a personal lawyer for Trump, assumed the role in March. Her profile as a staunch defender of the president in the courtroom and the press was raised while representing him in his business fraud case and the defamation and sexual assault lawsuits brought by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Early in Her Interim Term, Her Leadership came under Scrutiny following the Arrests and Charges against Newark, NJ, Mayor Ras Baraka (D), and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D,-10th District), stemming from an Incident at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Facility.

Although a Trespass Count against Baraka was Dropped, McIver is still Fighting Her Criminal Charges in Court. She has Pleaded Not Guilty to Three Counts of Assaulting, Resisting, Impeding, and Interfering with Federal Officers.

At a Hearing Dismissing Baraka’s Charge, a Federal Jjudge said the Arrest suggested a “Worrisome Misstep” by the Office, noting the “apparent rush” in bringing the Case that culminated in the Government’s “Eembarrassing” Rretraction of the Charge. Baraka has Sued Habba for Damages over His Arrest. Despite that, High-Ranking Justice Department Officials imparted Trust in Habba’s Ability to Run the Office.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche (R) wrote on the Social Platform X before the Announcement that Habba brought “steady leadership and sound judgment” as Interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. He said She has the “Full Confidence” of Trump and DOJ.

After the Ccourt’s Order, He said the Judges were Trying to “Force” Habba Out before the End of Her Term, which He suggested Ends Friday, before Midnight. “Their rush reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law,” Blanche wrote Tuesday. “When judges act like activists, they undermine confidence in our justice system. Alina is President Trump’s choice to lead—and no partisan bench can override that.”

A New Jersey Native and First-Ggeneration American, Habba became Part of Trump’s Orbit by Representing Him in a Defamation Lawsuit brought by Former “Apprentice” Contestant Summer Zervos, who later Dropped the Case.
