An angry federal judge on Monday evening ordered three attorneys running the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New Jersey to testify about how the office’s leadership structure operates after a judge ruled the DOJ illegally appointed them following Alina Habba’s forced resignation.
During a separate hearing on whether to delay the sentencing of a person who pleaded guilty to child porn charges, US District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi, a Biden appointee, ordered the three attorneys to testify.
Earlier this month, a federal judge fired three new leaders in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey.
US District Judge Matthew Brann, an Obama appointee, said the current leadership in New Jersey’s US Attorney’s Office exceeds the Attorney General’s authority.
