A group of US judges has voted to replace President Donald Trump's selection for New Jersey's top federal prosecutor amid opposition from Democrats in the state. Alina Habba had served as Trump's personal attorney, defending him in several legal cases, before she was chosen for the role in March. She has no previous experience as a prosecutor in criminal law. The ousting of Habba sparked a clash between the panel and members of the Trump administration, who denounced the move and said her replacement was immediately removed from the post.
