More here from ABC:

After a three-month battle over the legality of her appointment, Alina Habba has resigned from her position as the Acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

She announced her resignation as U.S. attorney in a social media post on Monday. She will remain serving as "Senior Adviser to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys."

The resignation comes after a protracted legal fight about whether she could serve in the U.S. attorney role without Senate confirmation.

In August, a federal judge ruled that she was serving in the position "without lawful authority" and disqualified her as New Jersey's top federal law enforcement officer.  A federal appeals court unanimously upheld that decision last week, and the Department of Justice has not appealed that decision.

Despite the rulings, Habba remained in the position after Attorney General Pam Bondi named her a "Special Attorney to the Attorney General," though several judges delayed proceedings to consider the legality of her position.

Finally, this from The Hill:

She said in a post on X that she’ll continue to serve the Justice Department as a senior advisor to Attorney General Pam Bondi for U.S. Attorneys. It was not immediately clear what the role entails, though Habba said, “my fight will now stretch across the country.”

“Make no mistake, you can take the girl out of New Jersey, but you cannot take New Jersey out of the girl,” she said.

Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement regarding Alina Habba’s resignation as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey:

“Today’s resignation of Alina Habba from her role as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey brings to a close a troubling chapter and confirms what we have warned from the start. Habba’s installation through an irregular and unlawful process undermined the credibility of the office and eroded the public’s trust in the state’s chief federal prosecutor. The courts’ rulings only confirmed our longstanding concerns—that this appointment was driven by political loyalty, not qualifications or respect for the rule of law.

“In light of this leadership vacuum, the administration must now act swiftly and responsibly. We hope that they will work with us to put forward a qualified nominee––one with deep prosecutorial experience, unquestioned integrity, and a genuine commitment to delivering impartial justice––and to give the Senate a full, fair opportunity to consider that nominee. New Jersey deserves no less, and we will not compromise on the safety of our communities.”
