Trump Prosecutor Gets TOSSED OUT of Court By Federal Judge

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the latest courtroom chaos coming out of Trump's Department of Justice in New Jersey. During a routine sentencing hearing in a child pornography case, federal Judge Zahid Quraishi threw a DOJ supervisor out of his courtroom after the prosecutor showed up unannounced and refused to stop talking. But this wasn't just about courtroom decorum — the judge was furious about who is actually running the U.S. Attorney's Office. After Alina Habba was found to be illegally serving as U.S. Attorney and forced to resign, Attorney General Pam Bondi replaced her with a three-person "triumvirate" — which another judge has already ruled is also unconstitutional. Now Habba holds a made-up title as "Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys," and Judge Quraishi wants to know if she's still pulling strings behind the scenes. He's ordered all three triumvirate members to testify under oath and warned that Todd Blanche and Habba herself could be next. Brian and Shant walk through the procedural mess, the real-world risk that criminal convictions could be thrown out because of these unlawful appointments, and Habba's legendary losing record — from the dismissed $100 million lawsuit against the New York Times, to the $83.3 million E. Jean Carroll verdict, to the million-dollar sanctions she and Trump still owe.
