And the ongoing saga over Alina Haba's appointment to be U.S. attorney for New Jersey continues, this time before a Pennsylvania district court judge, after a case was filed by Julian Girard, Jr., who is under indictment in the state on drugs and weapons charges.

In a brief filed by his attorney, he alleges that President Trump's decision to keep Haba in the job beyond the expiration of her term was unlawful, and allowing her appointment sets a precedent for the president to have unlimited authority to choose U.S. attorneys without approval from the Senate or the judiciary.

This all comes on the heels of a busy few weeks in the attorney's office after Haba's initial term came to an end, and the state's federal judges appointed first assistant Desiree Grace to succeed her.

The Trump administration fired Grace in response, and appointed Haba once again in her place.

Grace has since filed a complaint arguing her firing was completely unjustified.

Now, court proceedings remain in flux while attorneys wait to see how the Pennsylvania judge rules.
