The Trump administration believes a complex procedural maneuver will allow the president’s former personal lawyer to remain in the position.

The Trump administration believes it has found a workaround to keep the president’s former personal lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney and outflank federal judges who sought to replace her.

Habba's statement marked the latest challenge by the Trump administration to oversight by federal courts.
