A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments over whether President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Alina Habba, has been unlawfully serving as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey since earlier this year. The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled a hearing in Philadelphia over Habba’s appointment, which a lower court judge said in August was done with a “novel series of legal and personnel moves” and that she was not lawfully serving in the as U.S attorney for New Jersey. The judge’s order said that her actions could be declared void but put his order on hold pending appeal.
