Law enforcement officials are searching for a person who showed up at acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba’s office and destroyed some of her property.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi wrote on X that the person attempted to confront Habba at her Newark office on Wednesday. She said that Habba was OK.
“Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period. This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country,” Bondi wrote.
Bondi wrote that the person will be found and will be brought to justice.
“Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable,” Bondi wrote.
Habba also confirmed the incident in an X post.
“I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job,” she wrote.
News 12 reached out to the Newark Police Department and the Department of Justice for comment and is waiting to hear back.
Habba was previously President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, representing him in various cases and acting as his spokesperson on legal matters. She served as a White House adviser briefly before Trump named her as interim U.S. attorney in March.
