In a span of eight days, Alina Habba was accused of violating the Hatch Act; removed as interim U.S. attorney by district court judges and replaced with a career prosecutor who was quickly fired by the Trump administration; and then named acting U.S. attorney.

Habba’s term as the interim U.S. attorney expired this week, and since the Senate never voted to confirm her, it was up to federal judges in the state to vote to extend her term—which they declined to do, instead appointing her deputy Desiree Leigh Grace to fill the role on Tuesday.
