Alina Habba Joins Trump Administration As Counselor To The President
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Alina Habba, a key figure in his legal defense team, to the role of Counselor to the President. Habba’s appointment underscores her steadfast loyalty and commitment to Trump throughout his legal battles.
Trump announced the news on Truth Social, praising Habba as “a tireless advocate for justice” and “a fierce defender of the rule of law.” He credited her with being an invaluable advisor to his campaign and transition team, noting her ability to navigate complex legal challenges. Habba has been a prominent figure in Trump’s legal team, representing him in cases such as the New York civil fraud trial.
The president-elect highlighted Habba’s personal achievements, including being named Chaldean Woman of the Year, and emphasized her role as a trailblazer for women in law and politics. As a first-generation American of Middle Eastern heritage, Habba’s story has been described as inspiring for many.
While Habba prepares to step into her new White House role, another prominent figure close to Trump, Lara Trump, recently announced her decision to step down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. In her statement, Lara Trump pointed to the accomplishments of her tenure, including record-breaking fundraising and efforts to enhance election integrity.
Speculation continues about Lara Trump’s potential future in politics following her husband’s nomination of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. During a recent interview, she called the possibility of a new role “a true honor.”
Habba’s appointment to the Trump administration reflects the president-elect’s focus on surrounding himself with trusted and proven allies as he prepares for his term. Her legal expertise and unwavering support are expected to play a key role in advancing the administration’s goals.
