DOJ fires US attorney for New Jersey after state picks her over former Trump lawyer Alina Habba

The Justice Department on Tuesday said it fired Desiree Leigh Grace as the newly appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, hours after federal judges in the state chose her over President Donald Trump's pick, Alina Habba.
The announcement came after federal judges in New Jersey opted not to appoint Habba, Trump's former personal attorney, as the state's top federal prosecutor on a permanent basis. Trump appointed Habba as the state's acting U.S. attorney in March.
"This Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges -- especially when they threaten the President's core Article II powers," Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X in announcing Grace's firing.
Grace was Habba's first assistant before district judges elevated her to the top job, setting up Habba's ouster.
Habba was awaiting Senate confirmation when her 120-day term as acting U.S. attorney expired this week.

(12,665 posts)The President has the authority to fire a US attorney, the AG does not. Where is the decision paper where Trump made the decision?
