U.S. District Court judges in New Jersey are set to decide on Monday whether Trump-appointed Alina Habba remains as the state’s U.S. attorney.
New Jersey’s 17 U.S. District Court judges will decide whether to reappoint Habba, choose someone else, or leave the office vacant, Law.com reported. Habba has been the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey since late March and is approaching the end of her 120-day term on Tuesday, according to the New Jersey Globe.
President Trump nominated Habba to the post on July 1. But the Senate Judiciary Committee hasn’t done its usual vetting of her for the position since the state’s two Democratic senators have indicated they will not sign off on her candidacy.
Instead of choosing Habba, the judges might pick either First Assistant U.S. Attorney Desiree Grace or former U.S. District Court Judge Noel Lawrence Hillman, both registered Republicans, the Globe reported.
