Trump DOJ scheme again blocked to bypass prosecutorial appointment rules

Trump's Justice Department has lost once again in court over its ongoing scheme to circumvent congressional approval for installing federal prosecutors.

In a scathing 130-page order released on Monday afternoon, U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, ruled that the current leadership structure of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey is invalid, and warned that if the DOJ continues with these shenanigans, a number of federal cases could be thrown out.
