Williamsport, Pennsylvania – On Thursday, a judge spent on Thursday that the former lawyer of President Donald Trump, Alina Habba, is illegally working as a federal public prosecutor in New Jersey.
The court considered, saying that the administration “a new series of legal moves and employees”, that the term Haba, where the interim American lawyer ended in July, and that the Trump administration maneuvers to keep it in the role without obtaining confirmation from the US Senate did not follow the measures required by federal law.

“In the face of the question of whether Mrs. Hapba is legally performing the jobs and duties of the US lawyer’s office in New Jersey province, I concluded that she is not.”
Bran said he puts his matter waiting for the appeal.
A message for a comment was sent to Habba Office on Thursday. The Ministry of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bran’s decision comes in response to a file on behalf of the defendants in New Jersey challenging the Habba period and the charges she was calling against them. They sought to prevent the charges against them, on the pretext that Habba had no power to sue the case after its 120 -day mandate as a temporary American lawyer in July.
The defendant’s request to prevent Habba, the White House adviser simultaneously for President Donald Trump and the former personal defense lawyer, is another high -level chapter during her short work.
Newspaper headlines topped when Trump appointed her American lawyer in New Jersey in March. She said that the state can “turn red”, which is a rare and flexible political expression from one of the public prosecutors, and said that it intends to investigate the state governor and the state prosecutor.
Then the charge of assaulting the property of others, which was eventually dropped, brought against the Mayor of Newark Ras Barka from his visit to the Federal Immigration Detention Center. Haba later accused Democratic MP Macerver of the attack caused by the same incident, a rare federal criminal case against a member of Congress other than corruption. She denies charges and recognized that she is not guilty.
The fluctuations were revealed to its mandate in late July, when the temporary appointment for four months was close to its end and it became clear that it will not receive support from its approval of the approval of the Senate.
The president withdrew her nomination. Almost at the same time, the federal judges in New Jersey practiced their authority under the law to replace the Haba Public Prosecutor when the appointment of Habba overturned, but the Public Prosecutor Bondi launched this public prosecutor and called Haba as an American lawyer.
The Ministry of Justice in deposits said that the judges acted prematurely and that the executive authority has the authority to appoint its favorite candidate to impose federal laws in the state.
Trump has officially nominated Hapa as his choice of the American lawyer on July 1, but Booker and Kim’s opposition means that in light of the old Senate known as the Senate, the nomination will stop.
A handful of other Trump choices for the US lawyer face a similar circumstance.
