Federal trial judges in New Jersey appointed First Assistant US Attorney Desiree Grace as interim head of the office, declining to extend the tenure of temporary chief and one-time Donald Trump defense lawyer Alina Habba.
The appointment was announced Tuesday by the District Court for the District of New Jersey in a standing order signed by Chief Judge Renee Marie Bumb.
