Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, claims federal judges in the state improperly blocked her reappointment after her initial 120-day term ended. Habba, a former attorney for Donald Trump, alleges this action was politically motivated and aimed at thwarting presidential power. Despite the judges' vote, Habba was subsequently reappointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, returning to her role. She criticizes Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim for delaying her Senate confirmation via the 'blue slip' tradition, and accuses Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of instructing judges to block her appointment.
