LOADING ERROR LOADINGPHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Trump administration’s maneuvers to keep the president’s former lawyer Alina Habba in place as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor were illegal and she is disqualified, a federal appeals court said Monday. It also comes after the judges questioned the government’s moves to keep Habba in place after her interim appointment expired and without her getting Senate confirmation. (Pool via AP) via Associated PressAdvertisementHabba is hardly the only Trump administration prosecutor whose appointment has been challenged by defense lawyers. She served as a White House adviser briefly before Trump named her as a federal prosecutor in March. Bondi then fired the prosecutor installed by the judges and renamed Habba as acting U.S. attorney.
