Trump Taps Alina Habba for U.S. Attorney in New Jersey
President Donald Trump has nominated Alina Habba, a White House counsel and personal attorney, for the position of U.S. Attorney in New Jersey, according to multiple sources. This decision marks a significant move in Trump's administration, showcasing his trust in Habba, who has been a close legal advisor.
Habba's nomination comes at a pivotal time, as she is expected to bring her extensive legal expertise to the role. Having served as Trump's personal lawyer, her appointment is seen as a strategic choice to handle legal matters in a state that has been a focal point for various legal battles involving the former president.
The nomination has sparked a range of reactions, with supporters praising the move as a testament to Habba's capabilities and critics questioning the implications of appointing someone closely tied to Trump's personal legal team to a federal position. The Senate will now review Habba's nomination, where her legal background and relationship with Trump will likely be scrutinized.
