URGENT: Trump Attorney Alina Habba Abruptly Resigns as Top NJ Prosecutor

Breaking News: Trump Attorney Alina Habba Abruptly Resigns as Top NJ Prosecutor Former Trump attorney Alina Habba has resigned as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, effective immediately. Habba made the announcement on social media, citing the need to protect the stability and integrity of the U.S. attorney's office. The resignation comes after an appeals court ruling last week found that Habba was unlawfully serving in the role. Habba's decision is the latest in a string of court cases across the country where U.S. attorneys have been deemed unconstitutionally appointed. This development has significant implications for the Justice Department, which has been grappling with the issue. Habba first gained national attention as a personal attorney for President Trump. She was appointed as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022. Habba's resignation is effective immediately, and she will remain at the DOJ as a senior advisor to the attorney general for U.S. attorneys. The Justice Department has not commented on Habba's resignation. It is unclear who will take over as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
