Desiree Lee Grace was appointed by New Jersey district court judges to replace Trump’s former personal attorney, Alina Habba, who reportedly lacks the votes to be formally confirmed by the Senate as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Desiree Leigh Grace, who was promoted by Habba, will now serve as the US attorney for the District of New Jersey, according to an order from a federal judge.

President Donald Trump’s attempts to keep his personal attorney Alina Habba as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor have sparked yet another showdown between his administration and a judiciary he despises.

Alina Habba's 120-day term ends Friday. Tuesday, a group of federal judges in New Jersey voted not to extend Habba's interim appointment as U.S. attorney, and to replace her with her deputy Desiree Grace.
