Alina Habba on Thursday announced that she is now the Acting US Attorney for New Jersey after district court judges ousted her from her post earlier this week.
Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney expires on Friday at 11:59 pm so Trump and Bondi outmaneuvered the activist judges.
Habba resigned as Interim US Attorney and is now Acting US Attorney for New Jersey.
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.
I don’t cower to pressure. I don’t answer to politics.
This is a fight for justice. And I’m all in.

A group of federal judges on Tuesday declined to extend Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her.
Hakeem Jeffries called on federal district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden to remove Alina Habba over her decision to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver.
The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job.
Alina Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who has to go.
She must be rejected by the Federal District Court judges who are considering whether to retain her.…

On Tuesday, after a pressure campaign from Jeffries, district court judges voted to oust Alina Habba as interim US Attorney of New Jersey.
The corrupt judges appointed Desiree Leigh Grace – but AG Bondi immediately fired her on Tuesday.
Alina Habba resigned as interim US Attorney before her term was set to expire – Trump then withdrew Habba’s nomination to a permanent position – Bondi then appointed Alina Habba First Assistant US Attorney which means she automatically becomes Acting US Attorney because of the vacancy.
Here’s how it works:
1) Habba resigns as interim US attorney, ahead of a Friday deadline
2) Trump withdraws Habba’s nomination to take the job permanently
3) AG Bondi appoints Habba First Assistant US attorney
4) Habba automatically becomes acting US attoreny bc of the vacancy.— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) July 24, 2025
“The reason Trump has to withdraw her nomination is because the Federal Vacancies Reform Act prohibits the nominee for a Senate-confirmed office from holding the post on an “acting” basis,” Politico’s Kyle Cheney reported.

The Article III Project, led by Mike Davis, filed a judicial complaint against a federal judiciary panel of Democrat activist judges after they bowed to pressure from Hakeem Jeffries to oust Alina Habba.
“These New Jersey activist judges—15 of whom were appointed by Obama and Biden—saluted. This violated Canons 2, 3, and 5 of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges,” Mike Davis said.
