Trump’s Trusted Legal Ally Steps In to Tackle Crime, Corruption, and Restore Justice
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a major development shaking up New Jersey politics, President Donald J. Trump has appointed longtime legal advisor Alina Habba as the Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. The announcement was made Monday on Truth Social, Trump’s official social media platform.
“Alina will lead with strength and determination,” President Trump wrote. “She’ll fight for a legal system that is fair and just for the great people of New Jersey.”
Who Is Alina Habba? A Fighter for Truth and Justice
Alina Habba is no stranger to the spotlight. As a seasoned attorney and counselor to President Trump, she’s been on the front lines of some of his most important legal battles.
Habba rose to national prominence for her unwavering defense against what many see as politically charged legal attacks and left-wing interference. She is a partner at a law firm based in New Jersey, not far from President Trump’s Bedminster estate, and has previously served as a senior advisor to his political action committee.
In addition, Habba was a key spokesperson during the President’s campaign season, often addressing the media while Trump balanced courtroom appearances with political rallies.
Habba Responds: “Proud to Serve New Jersey and Fight for Justice”
Following her appointment, Habba expressed gratitude to President Trump in a statement on X (formerly Twitter):
“I am honored to serve my home state of New Jersey as Interim U.S. Attorney, and I thank President Trump for this incredible responsibility. I will continue fighting for truth, justice, and the American people—just as I’ve done every day as President Trump’s attorney.”
Taking Aim at Democrat Leadership in New Jersey
In remarks outside the White House, Habba didn’t hold back. She called out the growing crime and corruption plaguing the Garden State under Democrat rule:
“There is rampant corruption, a disturbing lack of justice, and surging crime—right in Cory Booker’s backyard, and right under Governor Murphy. That stops now.”
These bold remarks signal a crackdown on lawlessness and a shift toward restoring law and order—issues that matter deeply to everyday Americans, especially seniors concerned about community safety and government accountability.
What Happens Next for Trump’s Legal Team?
It’s not yet confirmed whether Habba will retain her position as Counselor to the President while serving as Interim U.S. Attorney, but she reassured reporters that she’s ready for both:
“I will be leaving the White House soon to serve in my current role and this new position in New Jersey. I’m excited to get started.”
Another Strategic Appointment: John Giordano Named Ambassador
President Trump also announced that John Giordano, who had been serving as Acting U.S. Attorney, will now be nominated as U.S. Ambassador to Namibia—a move that showcases Trump’s continued focus on smart, experienced leadership on both domestic and global fronts.
On Truth Social, Trump added:
“Congratulations to Alina and John!”
Habba echoed the sentiment with a powerful final statement:
“We will end the weaponization of justice, once and for all.”
