A Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Nevada was disqualified from four criminal cases by a federal judge Tuesday after not being officially nominated for confirmation by the Senate.

Sigal Chattah, who served as the acting U.S. attorney for Nevada, was directed to relinquish control over prosecutions by U.S. District Judge David G. Campbell. 

Campbell said Chattah, the former Nevada chair for the Republican National Committee, had been working under an acting title for more than the allowable 120 days and noted that “her involvement in these cases would be unlawful,” according to Reuters. 

Campbell has requested government attorneys confirm within seven days that Chattah is not directing their work on the four criminal cases she’s been disqualified from overseeing. 

Chattah was appointed as the the Silver State’s interim U.S. attorney in March and granted an extension of her role by the Trump administration under a federal law that bucked the federal district court’s ability to place someone else in the role. Traditionally, after a 120-day temporary appointment, judges of the court can appoint an interim until the vacancy is filled, according to Campbell’s ruling reported by The Associated Press.

But Chattah and some other Trump appointees have been able to avoid the Senate confirmation requirement for U.S. attorneys. 

Alina Habba, a former personal lawyer to President Trump who was appointed to serve as the acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, was ruled to be unlawfully serving in her role by a federal judge for similar reasons. 

The Hill reached out to the Justice Department for comment regarding Chattah’s removal. Officials did not immediately respond to the inquiry.
