 Despite Disqualifications, Trump Appointees Still Claim to Be Top Federal Prosecutors

When a court ruled that Alina Habba’s appointment as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey was illegal, it unequivocally disqualified a loyalist to President Donald Trump from a key post.
But two days later, both Habba and the Department of Justice (DOJ) continue to claim that she is the top federal prosecutor in the state.
It’s part of a pattern. Last month, a federal judge drew a similar conclusion about Lindsey Halligan, another one of Trump’s temporary appointees. But the DOJ continues to describe her as a U.S. attorney — often even dropping “acting” from her title.
