Alina Habba isn’t waving the white flag on her quest to become a U.S. attorney just yet.
The Justice Department asked a federal appeals court on Wednesday to reconsider a December ruling by a three-judge panel that forced the former Trump lawyer, 41, out of her role as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor.
Habba stepped down as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey last month after a panel of George W. Bush and Barack Obama appointees at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that she had been unlawfully serving for too long without Senate confirmation, in violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
