President Donald Trump is pulling out all the stops to keep his loyal allies in top prosecutor roles in blue states, including his former personal attorney Alina Habba in New Jersey, where a court battle now casts doubt over who is running the U.S. attorney's office.
Trump has attempted to circumvent the Senate confirmation process to maintain Habba's authority, as well as the authority of his appointees in California and New York. Habba's appointment, however, has been complicated by a legal challenge from a criminal defendant in her district.
Habba said in a statement to Fox News Digital she is unfazed by the development.
"I am confident we will win any and all attempts to thwart the well-established Article II Powers of the Executive Branch and the President of the United States," Habba said.
