Trump attorney and adviser Alina Habba’s 120-day appointment as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey is set to expire Tuesday.

Democrat-appointed federal judges in the District of New Jersey are set to meet Monday to name a temporary replacement. Judges can name a temporary prosecutor by a majority vote if the president’s nominee has not been confirmed by the Senate within the 120-day period.

Neither of New Jersey’s Democratic senators supported Ms. Habba’s nomination, and the Senate’s Republican majority allowed the clock to run out.

The Senate is unlikely to confirm her nomination before her tenure expires, allowing New Jersey’s judges to appoint a replacement for roughly 200 days.

New Jersey’s district has 17 federal judges, 15 of whom were nominated under President Obama’s and President Biden’s terms.

Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, filed an ethics complaint in the House of Representatives against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, New York Democrat, claiming he was lobbying the judges to push Ms. Habba out of the job.

Mr. Jeffries’ alleged calls to fire her came after he criticized Ms. Habba on X, saying she was “a woefully unqualified political hack.”

The social media post came after she indicted Rep. LaMonica McIver, New Jersey Democrat, for her actions outside a federal immigration facility in May.

“This is clear corruption by House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries,” Mr. Davis said in his ethics complaint. “Not only has Hakeem Jeffries corrupted the House, he has also used his powerful House office to corrupt the federal judiciary and the Justice Department’s ongoing criminal proceedings.

Ms. Habba served as a personal attorney to President Trump before he won the 2024 election and joined him at the White House as a senior counselor and adviser. In March, she was sworn in as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, her home state.

She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
