Alina Habba, a New Jersey native who has been serving as its top prosecutor, has garnered the enthusiastic support of the National Troopers Coalition, National Association of Police Organizations and National Police Defense Foundation since being nominated in March.

Alina Habba — who served as President Donald Trump's defense lawyer and a White House counselor and has become one of the most high-profile U.S. attorneys in the country — could see her 120-day interim term as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor expire Tuesday.

The Justice Department battled to maintain President Donald Trump's former attorney, Alina Habba, in her role as the leading federal prosecutor in New Jersey on Tuesday after a judicial panel declined to extend her appointment and selected her deputy for the position.
