Desiree Lee Grace was appointed by New Jersey district court judges to replace Trump’s former personal attorney, Alina Habba, who reportedly lacks the votes to be formally confirmed by the Senate as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

The DOJ says “rogue judges” just can’t stand the “outstanding work” of Trump’s former attorney as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor.

A legal standoff over Alina Habba’s expired term sparked a power struggle between Trump’s DOJ and federal judges over who controls New Jersey’s top prosecutor.

The Trump administration believes it has found a workaround to keep the president’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney and outflank federal judges who sought to replace her.
