NEW: The White House says Trump has fired the court-appointed U.S. attorney that NJ judges appointed to succeed Alina Habba.
They say the judicial appointee — Leigh Grace — never actually had the job, but just in case, she's fired anyway.

SouNdS Like another league i knoW
To sum up:
Clubs racking up huge losses but able to comply with spending regulations, exploiting loopholes in the rulebook.
A league that does not have the authority to regulate itself because the rulebook is determined by the clubs.
The Premier League can’t regulate its clubs.
