Wahala Don Dey as DOJ Fire New US Attorney After Few Hours

Trenton, New Jersey – E be like say wahala don show for New Jersey judiciary as federal judges just appoint veteran prosecutor Desiree Leigh Grace as the new U.S. attorney, only for Attorney General Pam Bondi to fire am like say dem dey play hot potato.

This drama commence when judges use their power (we no go sabi wetin dem don eat) to bypass Alina Habba’s interim reign that just finish after she no fit get Senate approval. Grace take over on July 22, 2025, but no too long after that, Bondi come chook eye for matter and give Grace the boot, accusing judges of trying to undermine Trump’s authority. Chai! Which kin gbege be this?

As usual, the DOJ no take am lightly, confirming Grace’s removal and calling the judges “rogue” (like dem dey follow wrong GPS). This matter come hot as New Jersey Senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, join body dey shout for Grace’s dismissal, saying na serious threat to judicial independence and law enforcement wey no dey bias.

Under federal law, if a U.S. attorney no confirm by Senate within 120 days, judges fit step in to appoint person. Habba, wey dem nominate on July 1, dey miss Senate approval deadline, which fit make judges vex enter action. Chief Judge Renée Bumb na the person wey sign official order wey appoint Grace – na big wahala dis!

Just as Grace wear her new cap, the DOJ now come dey shout “no! no!” and criticize the judges for their action. Bondi, who dey tight with Trump, run enter social media talk say no partisan bench fit override the president’s decision. E be like say dem go turn courtroom to boxing ring soon.

Habba, wey dey enjoy her time as personal attorney to Trump, don find herself become polarizing figure as the Senate dey push back against am. The opposition from Senators wey dey think say Habba no fit handle the job don raise eyebrow everywhere (and nobody fit blame dem). During her small reign, she don dey dig up high-profile investigations, even targeting big names like Newark Mayor Ras Baraka but wetin come happen? Some cases don fall flat (e no easy to catch fish wey jump). Meanwhile, two high-profile investigations against Democrats go on, with Baraka’s case don already drop.

Now enter Grace, wey be career prosecutor wey sabi wetin she dey do. She don dey handle criminal division since 2016, so her friends dey so tiffing ball dey roll as dem see person wey gree return judiciary back to normalcy. But no be everybody dey agree, as Habba’s supporters dey argue say judges don overreach and dey push the limits of their powers.

The tussle between DOJ and judiciary dey raise big questions about who fit really call the shots when it come to appointing these big roles. E be like say dis matter don expose the underbelly of political influence wey dey affect federal law enforcement. As senators dey cry foul, e remain to see how this story go unfold. Na wah for ‘American democracy’ wey dey sometimes look like soap opera.
