Donald Trump, who will soon become president, has announced that his personal lawyer, Alina Habba, will join his White House team. He called her a true supporter and praised her strong spirit, saying she has stood by him during many tough times in court.
Alina Habba is becoming a well-known lawyer for Trump, often appearing on TV to defend him. At 40 years old, she is the managing partner at her law firm, Habba Madaio & Associates LLP. She helped Trump in different legal cases, including one from a former “Apprentice” contestant named Summer Zervos, who accused him of sexual assault. Habba worked hard and eventually helped get that case dropped. She also assisted Trump when his niece, Mary Trump, accused him of cheating her out of money from their family inheritance, which the court dismissed. Additionally, she played a role in a lawsuit against Mary Trump about financial documents she gave to the New York Times.
Earlier this year, Habba made news for having a heated exchange in court with Judge Lewis Kaplan during a case brought by E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of assaulting her in the 1990s. Furthermore, she has served as a key adviser for Trump’s “Make America Great Again Inc.” campaign for the 2024 election, often attending rallies like the one at Madison Square Garden.
In another announcement, Trump named Christopher Landau as his deputy secretary of state. Trump said Landau would work closely with Marco Rubio, his pick for Secretary of State, to keep America safe and prosperous. Landau previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, where he actively worked to lower illegal immigration.
Michael Needham, a former aide of Rubio, will be a counselor at the State Department, and Michael Anton, who worked in Trump’s first administration, will be the director of policy planning there.
