A group of federal judges on Tuesday declined to extend Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her.
Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney expires on Friday at 11:59 pm.
Hakeem Jeffries called on federal district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden to remove Alina Habba over her decision to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver.
“The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job. Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who must go. She must be rejected by the Federal District Court Judges who are considering whether to retain her,” Hakeem Jeffries said last week.
On Tuesday, after a pressure campaign from Jeffries, district court judges voted to oust Alina Habba as interim US Attorney of New Jersey.
“The order, signed by Judge Renée Marie Bumb, appointed Desiree Leigh Grace effective Tuesday,” Axios reported.
Reuters reported:
A panel of judges in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey declined to permanently appoint President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Alina Habba as the state’s top federal prosecutor, according to an order from the court.
Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s interim U.S. attorney since her appointment by Trump in March, but was limited by law to 120 days in office unless the court agreed to keep her in place. The U.S. Senate has not yet acted on her formal nomination to the role, submitted by Trump this month.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche responded to the latest attack on Trump’s nominee.
“The district court judges in NJ are trying to force out @USAttyHabba before her term expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday. Their rush reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law. 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,” Todd Blanche said.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi also showed her support for Alina Habba.
They are very loyal to the Democrat Party.
No plan, just rage and tantrums. Like children.
“”””Hakeem Jeffries called on federal district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden to remove Alina Habba over her decision to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver.”””
Apparently this Hakeem clown didn’t stop to think that now President Trump will appoint the nastiest interim attorney he can find.
We could learn from the liberals...loyal to the cause and winner takes all.
HACKeem calling somebody a political hack? That’s rich. He’s the defining example of the category.
Maybe DJT can find her a gig as special prosecutor. Just sayin
Spartacus is not Smartacus................
👍👍👍😀😀😀
And they’re probably big fans of living over being suicided or blackmailed.
Wait a minute…. I thought US Attorneys were in an Executive Branch position. Why do judges have a say?
???❓❓❓
Um, I was not aware that federal judges had any say in who is the US Attorney. From an AI:
No, federal judges do not confirm U.S. Attorneys. While U.S. Attorneys are nominated by the President, they must be confirmed by the Senate. The federal judiciary, including federal judges, plays no role in the nomination or confirmation process of U.S. Attorneys, according to the United States Courts.
What am I missing here?
They don't.
” The U.S. Senate has not yet acted on her formal nomination to the role...”
So re-appoint her & demand the WORTHLESS M’FR’s in the senate do their job!
They do
And exercising power while in the minority, something Congressional Republicans have difficulty doing in the majority.
Yeah, most females in the Trump orbit are stunners... Alina is top tier NOT GUILTY!!!!
