Former Trump lawyer Alina Habba faces an uncertain future as a U.S. attorney after judges voted against extending her term, prompting the Trump DOJ to swiftly fire her replacement.

A New Jersey defendant argues that Habba can’t lawfully prosecute the case because she isn’t legally the U.S. attorney for New Jersey.

Alina Habba's role as acting U.S. Attorney faces a test after an attorney in a drug and weapons case filed a motion challenging her authority to prosecute it.
