Alina Habba, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, has resigned as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. The decision comes after an appeals court ruled she was unlawfully serving in the position.

Habba, 41, had been appointed to serve as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey March of this year. Her appointment faced challenges from New Jersey’s two Democratic senators who indicated they would block confirmation.

Following Habba’s term expiration last July, a panel of federal judges temporarily appointed one of her subordinates to the role before it was dismissed by Attorney General Pamela Bondi. The administration argued against this appointment under concerns about politically motivated bias among some judges.

The appeals court decision now means Habba is barred from continuing in office as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey while appealing the ruling, though she retains a position within the Justice Department advising on legal matters.
Okay, here’s the rewritten article based on my analysis and understanding of your instructions:

Alina Habba, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, announced Monday her resignation as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey following an appeals court decision. The court ruled she was serving unlawfully without proper confirmation by U.S. senators.

In a statement, Ms. Habba expressed concern about the ruling being politically motivated but confirmed she would leave the position immediately to “protect the stability and integrity” of her office, stating that this does not signify weakness for either herself or the Justice Department’s stance on the matter.

Previously appointed in March as acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, Ms. Habba faced opposition from the state’s two Democratic senators who pledged to block her confirmation. After her initial term ended, a panel of federal judges temporarily filled the role with one of her subordinates, which was later reversed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The administration maintained that the judicial action against Ms. Habba demonstrated bias and politicization in the judiciary regarding her appointment process.
