President Donald Trump said his former defense lawyer Alina Habba will become interim US Attorney for New Jersey, her home state.
Habba, who represented Trump in several high-profile lawsuits before his 2024 election victory, will start the new role immediately, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday. She’s currently serving in a White House role as counselor to the president.
