Alina Habba, who was appointed by Trump as acting US Attorney for New Jersey, has faced scrutiny due to her lack of prosecutorial experience. Her notable legal losses include an $88 million judgment in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case and $364 million in civil fraud penalties. Despite her controversial past, including a $15,000 settlement related to harassment claims, Trump has shown scant interest in securing her permanent position. Political allies voiced discontent with judicial nominations that challenged her role, suggesting continued political influence despite her legal shortcomings.
Habba had no prosecutorial experience before Trump tapped her in March to lead the US Attorney's Office in her home state. Her greatest claim to fame was losing her boss $88 million in damages in the E. Jean Carroll defamation cases and $364 million in civil fraud penalties.
Although the million dollars in sanctions for filing a frivolous RICO suit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey is a close second. But no matter! She's loyal enough to say absolutely any batshit thing on TV, and so she's staying put.
He nominated her for a 120-day interim appointment in March, and couldn't be bothered to put her name forward for a permanent position until July - not nearly enough time for her to get confirmed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, both former personal attorneys for Trump, were incensed on behalf of their compatriot.
