US judges in New Jersey rejected President Trump's appointee, Alina Habba, as the state's top federal prosecutor, opting instead for her deputy, Desiree Leigh Grace.

The judges' decision, unusual but not unprecedented, came just before Habba's interim term expired. Trump and his supporters condemned the move as politically motivated, while experts suggest Grace is a suitable replacement.
