Trump DOJ Fires Habba’s Replacement in Rebuke of Activist Judges
23rd July 2025
The Department of Justice removed the newly appointed U.S. attorney for New Jersey on July 22, accusing a panel of federal judges in the state of refusing, for political motives, to permanently appoint President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Alina Habba, as the top federal prosecutor.
Judges on the U.S. District Court in New Jersey named Desiree Leigh Grace, the second-highest-ranking official in the U.S. attorney’s office, to replace Habba on July 22 after her 120-day interim term ended.
Just hours later, in a statement on X, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Grace had been removed from the position.
