WASHINGTON, DC — In a bold and brilliant move, President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have outmaneuvered the D.C. establishment and kept Alina Habba at the helm as Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey—much to the dismay of the state’s entrenched Democrat machine.
Just hours before a federal deadline that would have handed control of the appointment process to activist judges, Trump withdrew Habba’s nomination from the Senate. Bondi immediately named her First Assistant U.S. Attorney—triggering a federal statute that reinstated Habba to the top job automatically.
The move effectively shut down a quiet coup attempt by establishment Democrats and their allies in the judiciary, who were plotting to replace Habba with a soft-on-corruption career bureaucrat willing to play ball with the status quo.
Senator Cory Booker and Congressman-turned-Senate-candidate Andy Kim both opposed Habba’s nomination from day one—nervously aware that a bold, independent prosecutor like Habba could pose a serious threat to the cozy network of political favors, backroom deals, and election games that have long protected their power.
Now, their worst fears are realized.
Habba’s no-nonsense, MAGA-aligned approach has made waves since she first took over—targeting shady political dealings and calling out fraud where others looked away. And thanks to Trump and Bondi’s legal jiu-jitsu, she’ll continue doing just that.
While the Democrat elite wring their hands over “process” and “norms,” real Americans can celebrate a rare win for accountability and common sense.
Trump once again showed he knows how to beat the swamp at its own game—and Alina Habba is exactly the kind of fearless prosecutor New Jersey needs to clean house.
