Alina Habba resigns from U.S. attorney’s office after unlawful appointment.

Alina Habba, President Trump’s former personal lawyer serving as U.S. attorney in New Jersey, resigned after a federal appeals court deemed her appointment unlawful. Attorney General Pam Bondi accepted her resignation but criticized the court’s decision. Habba will work as a senior adviser unless the Justice Department wins an appeal. The appointment of temporary U.S. attorneys in other states faces similar legal challenges.
