Republican legal activists are filing a complaint in defense of U.S. Attorney Alina Habba after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for federal district judges to remove her from her position.
Jeffries’ complaints about Habba stemmed from her decision to charge Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., with obstructing Homeland Security agents during an altercation at an immigration facility in Newark on May 9.
McIver has pleaded not guilty. She is now headed for trial on Nov. 10.
"The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job," said Jeffries in a post on X. "Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who must go.
"She must be rejected by the Federal District Court Judges who are considering whether to retain her."
The Article III Project filed a House Ethics complaint against Jeffries over the weekend for "improperly inserting himself into a criminal proceeding."
"This is clear corruption by House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries."
