WATCH: Alina Habba Names GOP Senators Who Are Blocking Her Confirmation

While speaking with Fox News on Sunday, interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba called out two Republican senators by name for blocking her confirmation.

Habba — who is currently overseeing a high-profile case against U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) for alleged assault on a federal officer — has faced a number of significant hurdles while awaiting confirmation.

In a 77-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann — an Obama appointee — said Thursday that Habba “is not lawfully holding the office of United States Attorney” and has been in the position without legal authority since July 1. District judges previously attempted to oust her in July, though President Donald Trump deployed a series of legal maneuvers to keep her in office for another 120 days on an interim basis.

Now, Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee are blocking Habba’s confirmation by refusing to advance her nomination, the interim U.S. attorney told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

“Thom Tillis, a member of the Judiciary Committee, has stated publicly that if Chairman Grassley tried moving a district judge or US attorney through the Judiciary Committee without a blue slip, he would oppose that nominee,” Bartiromo noted. “And that means we would not even have the votes to pass a nomination like Habba out of committee because Tillis would vote no along with the Democrats.”

Habba responded by describing Tillis’ opposition as “not surprising.”

“You know, they’re trying to look at this as they all need to get along to go along, but they’re not looking at what this does. The president was rightfully voted in by a majority of Americans, and he is entitled to pick his U.S. attorneys, his Department of Justice officials, his judges, so that we can continue the agenda that the American public voted for, which is to get rid of crime,” she added.

“In the state of New Jersey in June alone, we arrested over 300 criminals, illegals, rapists. What is so bad about that work? The truth is, it has nothing to do with the work that we’re doing. It has nothing to do with the crime that we’re stopping. It has to do with trying to prevent President Trump from continuing his agenda, and it has to stop.”

Habba went on to call out Senators Tillis and Grassley by name for blocking her confirmation. “So I would say to Senator Tillis and Senator Grassley, you are becoming part of the issue. You are becoming part of the antithesis of what we fought for four years, the same reason Tish James just got overturned in the appellate division, because it was a hoax, and it was misused and abusive power and we cannot allow and promote that kind of behavior. It is not just about me, it is about people across the country, US attorneys across the country that just want to do right by Americans that voted for President Trump.”

Tillis — who announced his retirement earlier this summer after blocking Trump’s nominee for D.C. U.S. attorney — has vowed to stonewall nominees he deems unfit. In particular, the outgoing senator has vowed to block any nominee who advocated for January 6 political prisoners.
