Federal judges in New Jersey on Tuesday opted not to appoint former Trump attorney Alina Habba as the state's top federal prosecutor on a permanent basis.

Acting under a law that generally limits the terms of interim US attorneys to 120 days, a panel of judges appointed one of Habba’s subordinates as her successor.

Alina Habba’s term as interim U.S. attorney was set to expire on Tuesday. New Jersey’s two Democratic senators had accused her of pursuing “frivolous and politically motivated prosecutions.”
