In the USA.
The news as it trends.
Alina Habba’s brief stint as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey began in chaos — and it’s ending the same way.
At 41 years old, Habba reportedly clashed with career prosecutors, disbanded the Civil Rights Division, and derailed major cases, according to multiple reports.
Staff morale plummeted, and her decision to hang three framed portraits of herself in a conference room only fueled resentment.
Now, as her 120-day term wraps up, lawmakers reportedly want nothing to do with confirming her for a full term.
There is no vote on the table to grant her the position of Attorney General for New Jersey, and multiple legislators have publicly distanced themselves from any effort to extend her stay.
Employees are counting down the days — with some even considering leaving altogether.
Habba is expected to leave her post on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, when her interim appointment officially expires.
Unless New Jersey’s federal judges vote to extend her tenure — a move that appears increasingly unlikely amid widespread opposition — her time in office will come to a close.
Despite repeated calls to remove the self-portraits, they remain, a lasting symbol of a turbulent chapter.
Habba’s legacy? A fractured office, frustrated staff, and a farewell that feels far more like a sigh of relief than a celebration.
