A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba can't stay in her current role as appointed by President Trump.

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that Alina Habba has been acting without legal authority as acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey for almost two months. Why it matters: Habba's actions since July 1 may be considered void, U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann wrote.

The federal judge found that Habba "unlawfully held the role" of the state's top prosecutor for more than a month.
