US appeals court rulesPHILADELPHIA (AP) President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Alina Habba, whom his administration has maneuvered to keep in place as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, is disqualified from serving in the role, an appeal court said Monday.
A panel of judges from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sitting in Philadelphia sided with a lower-court judge's ruling after hearing oral arguments at which Habba was present on Oct. 20.
It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place. Its efforts to elevate its preferred candidate for U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Alina Habba, to the role of Acting U.S. Attorney demonstrate the difficulties it has faced yet the citizens of New Jersey and the loyal employees in the U.S. Attorneys Office deserve some clarity and stability, the court wrote in a 32-page opinion.
