Judge Rules Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Unlawfully Serving as U.S. Attorney

Alina Habba, Trump's former personal lawyer and acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, accused federal judges of collusion against her after a court ruled she was serving illegally due to lack of Senate confirmation. She claims judges overstepped their authority in appointing her replacement, despite legal provisions allowing district courts to do so temporarily. Habba also falsely claimed Trump was rightfully elected and criticized Senate Republicans for blocking her nomination, which remains in limbo due to the blue slip process. Her tenure has been controversial, including a high-profile indictment of a Democratic congresswoman.
