President Donald Trump grew angry while addressing the resignation of Alina Habba, the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey, who multiple courts disqualified.

"Alina Habba says she's stepping down as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey after the courts disqualified her," a reporter told Trump on Monday. "Do you have any comment on that?"

When a federal judge ordered the dismissal of the Justice Department's criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, he left some key "subtext" in the opinion that shows the courts are fully aware of the deeper purpose in the Trump administration bringing the cases, reporter Sam Stein told MS NOW's Chris Jansing.

"I think it is worth pointing out that although in paragraph two, the judge gets to the point that the attempt to install Miss Halligan as interim U.S. attorney was invalid, it's interesting ... to read the first paragraph of this ruling by the judge," said Jansing. "I'm going to read it in its entirety: 'On September 25th, 2025, Lindsay Halligan, a former White House aid with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, having been appointed interim U.S. attorney by the attorney general just days before, Miss Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging former FBI Director James Comey with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.'"

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has lost thousands of experienced staff — many of whom are attorneys — and it has so far been unable to bring in enough new talent to make up for its losses.

That's according to a Monday article by the Washington Post's Perry Stein, who reported that despite the DOJ previously being seen as a premier destination for graduates of top law schools, its recruiting numbers have since "plummeted" during President Donald Trump's second term. While the DOJ keeps roughly 10,000 attorneys on its payroll at any given time, the Post reported that the DOJ has since lost roughly 5,500 staff (not all of whom are attorneys) due to resignations, firings or buyout offers from the administration.

In a late Sunday filing, described by Politico as “light on details,” federal prosecutors pursuing former FBI Director James Comey are attempting to boot his lead lawyer off the case.

The two DOJ attorneys, brought into the Eastern District of Virginia U.S. attorney’s office by newly appointed former insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan to make the case that Comey is guilty of making false statements and obstructing a federal proceeding, want the defendant’s lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, to be barred for alleged actions they believe represent a conflict of interest.

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not lawfully authorized to appear at the grand jury, and Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, knew it, former federal prosecutors Joyce Vance and Preet Bharara asserted during a podcast on Wednesday.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey has submitted motions to dismiss his criminal charges in the Eastern District of Virginia on the grounds of selective and vindictive prosecution, and unlawful appointment of Halligan, currently sitting as the interim U.S. attorney.
