Eric Darnley Small<p>Chaos erupts in NJ courts after Trump’s personal lawyer, Alina Habba, stays on as U.S. attorney without Senate approval. Judges tried installing her assistant, but the Trump admin pulled off a legal shuffle to rehire Habba, pausing hearings and trials. A defendant’s lawyer says she’s “unlawfully” in office. AG Pam Bondi even fired the new appointee to restore Habba. Will Trump’s maneuvering prevail or backfire on this controversial pick?
