Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the federal court ruling that Alina Habba has been unlawfully serving as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor since July 1st. They explain how Judge Matthew Brann found Trump’s procedural gamesmanship violated federal law after Habba’s 120-day interim term expired and senators blocked her confirmation. The hosts reveal how the administration fired career prosecutor Desiree Leigh Grace when judges properly appointed her, then tried illegal maneuvers to keep the unqualified Habba in power. Criminal defendants successfully challenged her authority, potentially voiding prosecutions she oversaw while the DOJ scrambles to preserve cases. A judicial rebuke proving even Trump can’t completely ignore the rule of law.
