President Trump appoints Alina Habba as interim US attorney for New Jersey

6ds ago

Alina Habba was sworn in as the interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Habba was sworn into office on Friday by Attorney General Pam Bondi in a ceremony held in the Oval Office as President Donald Trump looked on.

The New Jersey native defended Trump in some of his civil lawsuits. He later brought her to the White House with the title of counselor to the president.

“She counseled me very well,” Trump said. He said she’ll work “tirelessly to weed out crime and corruption and restore law and order to the Garden State.”

Habba thanked the president and said, “I would not be standing here today if it was not for the man to my right,” referring to the president.

She promised to “make New Jersey great again.”

The Associated Press wire services contributed to this report.
