Trump Appoints Habba as Interim U.S. Attorney

President Donald Trump has appointed his personal lawyer, Alina Habba, as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, a decision that has sparked criticism due to her lack of prosecutorial experience. Habba, a New Jersey native, is known for vigorously defending Trump in several high-profile civil cases, including the New York civil fraud trial and defamation lawsuits. She succeeds John Giordano, who will be nominated as the ambassador to Namibia. Trump's decision to appoint Habba has been viewed by some as an 'unserious' move, given her past controversial legal actions and statements. Habba has promised to fight for a fair and just legal system in New Jersey and to address perceived corruption and injustice. Despite her controversial appointment, Trump praised her diligence and conviction, emphasizing her commitment to ending the 'weaponization of justice.'
