Trump Names Alina Habba Interim U.S. Attorney

President Donald Trump has appointed Alina Habba, his personal attorney and current White House counsel, as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Habba replaces John Giordano, who has been nominated as the U.S. Ambassador to Namibia after serving as interim U.S. attorney for only a few weeks. Critics labeled Habba's appointment as 'unserious' due to her lack of prosecutorial experience, as she previously ran a small law firm focusing on civil litigation. Despite this, Trump praised Habba for her diligence and conviction and expressed confidence in her ability to ensure a 'Fair and Just' legal system in New Jersey. Habba, a New Jersey native, is known for her role in representing Trump in high-profile civil cases and has vowed to combat corruption in the state. She will oversee over 150 attorneys and handle federal prosecutions and civil matters in New Jersey.
