Trump Announces White House Role For Alina Habba

President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Alina Habba, one of his long-standing legal advisors, will assume a prominent role in the White House during his second term.

“I am pleased to announce that Alina Habba will join my White House Team as Counselor to the President,” Trump shared on his Truth Social platform. “Alina has been a tireless advocate for Justice, a fierce Defender of the Rule of Law, and an invaluable Advisor to my Campaign and Transition Team.”

Trump praised Habba’s unwavering dedication, stating, “She has stood by me through countless ‘trials,’ legal battles, and endless days in court. Few have a deeper understanding of the Weaponization of the ‘Injustice’ System than Alina, who has confronted Lawfare head-on with unshakable courage and a steadfast commitment to Justice.”

He continued, “As a first-generation American of Middle Eastern heritage, Alina has become an inspiration for women in Law and Politics. Recently, she was honored as Chaldean Woman of the Year.” Trump concluded by congratulating Habba and her family: “Congratulations to Alina, her husband Gregg, and their three beautiful children, Chloe, Luke, and Parker.”

Habba spoke at Trump’s historic October rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, addressing the impact of “lawfare” on the 2024 campaign.

“They tried to keep President Trump and his campaign tied up in courtrooms,” Habba remarked. “But do you know what he did while sitting in those New York courtrooms? He won the hearts and minds of the American people—all from this city.”

She added, “The deep state underestimates us. They want Americans to follow like sheep. But, New York, we’ll be the ones herding sheep out of the White House on November 5. Kamala Harris, pack your bags—you’re being evicted from my president’s house!”
