Federal Appeals Court Rules that Trump Appointee Alina Habba is UNLAWFULLY serving as NJ US Attorney

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

About

Federal trial court judges from coast to coast have ruled that Trump-appointed interim US attorneys are in their positions unlawfully. But this is the first time that a federal appeals court has ruled on that issue - specifically ruling that Alina Habba is is unlawfully serving in the position of interim US Attorney for the district of New Jersey.

Glenn reviews this new legal development, what it means for the cases presently being prosecuted by the New Jersey US Attorney's Office, and the likelihood that the Supreme Court will now weigh in and accept the case for review.
