YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Alina Habba resigned as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey after an appellate panel last week upheld a federal court’s ruling disqualifying her from the position.

That ruling said that Habba’s appointment violated a statute specifically governing vacancies in U.S. attorney positions and that the attorney general could not circumvent the statute, either under the more general Federal Vacancies Reform Act or by designating Habba a “special attorney” under a third statutory provision.
