Ms. Habba, the president’s former spokeswoman and personal lawyer, has been serving in an interim capacity. She had no prosecutorial experience when she was appointed.

Alina Habba’s term as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey is set to expire in three weeks. But on Tuesday, President Trump nominated her for a full four-year term. It’s pretty clear that Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim won’t want this nomination to proceed,

President Donald Trump threatened New York state lawmaker Zohran Mamdani with arrest if the presumptive Democratic nominee for New York City mayor defies Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
