President Donald Trump on Monday appointed Alina Habba, his personal attorney and White House counselor, as the next interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

“Alina will lead with the same diligence and conviction that has defined her career, and she will fight tirelessly to secure a Legal System that is both ‘Fair and Just’ for the wonderful people of New Jersey,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform.

For her part, Habba vowed to “end the weaponization of justice, once and for all” in her new position. “I am honored to serve my home state of New Jersey as Interim U.S. Attorney and I am grateful to President Trump for entrusting me with this tremendous responsibility,” she posted on X.

“Just like I did during my time as President Trump’s personal attorney, I will continue to fight for truth and justice. We will end the weaponization of justice, once and for all,” she added.

Trump announced that Habba would succeed John Giordano as the interim U.S. attorney, a position he will vacate to be nominated as the ambassador to Namibia. Habba gained prominence as part of Trump’s circle after spending several years practicing law in New Jersey.

After spending two years as a merchandiser at fashion company Marc Jacobs, Habba attended Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Pennsylvania, where she graduated in 2011. She then completed a yearlong clerkship with New Jersey Superior Court Judge Eugene Codey Jr. before practicing law for eight years at two different firms.

In 2020, she founded her own practice, specializing in civil and commercial litigation, ABC News reported.
