Trump Makes Bold Move to Keep Alina Habba As U.S. Attorney

President Donald Trump employed an appointment strategy to retain acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, following a decision by federal judges in the state—mostly appointed by Democratic presidents—to name a different successor.

Habba’s temporary 120-day appointment was set to end at midnight on Friday, which would have required her to resign after the judges selected her assistant, Desiree Grace, to take her place earlier this week. The Senate had not yet addressed her nomination.

However, on Thursday, Trump rescinded her nomination for the permanent U.S. attorney role, as reported by a Justice Department official, and appointed her first assistant U.S. attorney instead, allowing her to resume her acting role temporarily as that position is now vacant, according to The Hill.

“Donald J. Trump is the 47th President. Pam Bondi is the Attorney General. And I am now the Acting United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey,” Habba stated in a post on social media platform X. “I don’t cower to pressure. I don’t answer to politics. This is a fight for justice. And I’m all in.”

Grace indicated her readiness to step into the role, intensifying the conflict after being fired by Bondi following the judges’ selection of her over Habba.

Earlier Thursday, Grace announced on LinkedIn that she is honored by her appointment “on merit” and is prepared to take on the position “in accordance with the law.”
