Former Trump attorney Alina Habba remains U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Federal judges rejected her reappointment, but the DOJ used a legal maneuver, possibly the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, to reinstate her as Acting U.S. Attorney after firing her replacement, Desiree Leigh Grace. Habba's appointment, though potentially temporary (210 days), circumvents Senate confirmation. Grace may challenge this decision legally.
