Fired NJ prosecutor says she's prepared to take job

A New Jersey prosecutor selected by judges to replace President Trump's pick for U.S. attorney, Alina Habba, said Wednesday she is prepared to assume the role, despite having been fired by top Justice Department (DOJ) officials a day earlier.

Desiree Grace, the prosecutor, said in a LinkedIn post that she's honored by her appointment "on merit" and is ready to begin serving "in accordance with the law."

"I’ve served under both Republican and Democratic administrations," she wrote in the lengthy post.
