Federal trial judges in New Jersey appointed Desiree Grace, first assistant in the state’s US attorney’s office, as interim head of the office, declining to extend the appointment of current temporary chief Alina Habba.

The appointment was announced by the District Court for the District of New Jersey in a Tuesday standing order signed by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb.

Habba, a former Trump personal defense attorney, has since late March served as the acting head of the New Jersey US attorney’s office. The office during her tenure brought high-profile cases against Democratic politicians and dismissed a long-running overseas corruption matter.

An interim US attorney can serve for no longer than 120 days after their appointment, under federal law. Once that appointment expires, a district court “may appoint a US attorney to serve until the vacancy is filled” on a permanent basis.

Habba can go back to representing parking garages
