President Donald Trump has taken steps to keep Alina Habba as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey.

The Justice Department is fighting to keep President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Alina Habba, in place as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey after a panel of judges refused to extend her tenure and appointed someone else to the job.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has sued New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor over his arrest outside a federal immigration detention facility on a trespassing charge, saying the Trump-appointed attorney had pursued the case out of political spite.
