attorney.
The bitter fight between the state's federal judges and President Trump has ended with Robert Fraser being appointed to the office.
Trump first appointed his personal lawyer, Alina Haba, as the state's U.S.
attorney, but a judge ruled she was disqualified to stay in the role after the Senate failed to confirm her.
Robert Fraser replaces a trio of assistant U.S.
attorneys who've been leading the office since HABA stepped down, a structure that the courts ruled unlawful.
Fraser has served in the U.S.
Attorney's Office for more than two decades, most recently as a senior trial counsel.
