Federal Judge Appoints New U.S. Attorney in New Jersey, Ending Trump Administrations Standoff
A federal judge in New Jersey has appointed veteran prosecutor Robert Frazer as the states top U.S. attorney, resolving a long-standing dispute between the courts and the Trump administration. This move comes after judges disqualified several DOJ picks, including Trumps former personal lawyer Alina Habba, and temporarily appointed officials who were later ruled illegal without Senate confirmation. The Justice Department and Alina Habba have welcomed the agreement, which allows cases to proceed without delays for New Jersey residents. However, tensions over U.S. attorney appointments have escalated in other districts, with judges blocking acting officials and even tossing out indictments against Trump critics. Judges are now temporarily filling these roles until Senate-confirmed picks arrive, but the Justice Department has fired some right away, highlighting ongoing clashes over federal prosecutorial control.
