Alina Habba Vows to Continue as Top NJ Prosecutor

Alina Habba, former lawyer for President Donald Trump, plans to continue her role as the leading federal prosecutor in New Jersey. This decision comes despite a recent judicial ruling against extending her appointment, highlighting a continued pushback from the Trump administration against federal court oversight.

Alina Habba, who formerly served as a personal attorney for President Donald Trump, announced on Thursday her intent to retain her position as the chief federal prosecutor in New Jersey.

This declaration comes in the wake of a court ruling earlier in the week that denied the extension of her current appointment.

Habba's response is part of a broader pattern by the Trump administration to contest federal court authority.
