A federal appeals court has disqualified Alina Habba, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, from serving as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. The court ruled she cannot hold the position.
The decision prevents Habba from assuming the role of the state’s top federal prosecutor. The court did not detail its reasoning in the brief order.
Habba represented the former president in several recent civil cases. She was nominated for the prosecutor position last year.
The ruling is final, with no option for further appeal. The vacancy for the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey now remains open.
