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.

The Trump administration could try to use a workaround to keep Habba effectively in the U.S. Attorney role—but that could present legal challenges.

The DOJ fired Desiree Leigh Grace as the newly appointed U.S. attorney for New Jersey, hours after judges in the state chose her over President Trump's pick, Alina Habba.
