A federal judge found that Alina Habba, who was serving as acting U.S. Attorney, was working unlawfully in New Jersey, throwing the legal system in the state into uncertainty.
“Faced with the question of whether Ms. Habba is lawfully performing the functions and duties of the office of the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, I conclude that she is not,” wrote U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann of the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The decision came in response to a challenge regarding Habba’s position as top prosecutor in the state after the Trump administration took extraordinary steps to keep her in her position after she had first been tapped to serve as interim U.S. Attorney.
