Should Trump Get Revenge On Lawmakers Who Prosecuted Him?

Trump’s New Job For Alina Habba

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Alina Habba as Counselor to the President, a key position in his administration. Habba, a staunch defender of Trump and a familiar face to many conservative voters, has long been one of the former president’s most trusted legal allies.

As one of Trump’s personal attorneys, Habba has taken on some of the most high-profile civil cases against the former president. She gained widespread recognition for her fierce defense of Trump in media appearances, where she consistently pushed back against the left-wing narrative attacking him. Habba also played a pivotal role in Trump’s campaign, where she served as a senior advisor.

Trump praised Habba’s dedication and unwavering support in a statement, calling her “a tireless advocate for justice, a fierce defender of the rule of law, and an invaluable advisor.” He highlighted her loyalty and determination as she stood by him through countless legal battles.

A first-generation American and founder of her own law firm, Habba first came to national attention when she took on a defamation case filed by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on Trump’s show The Apprentice. Zervos later dropped the suit, but this case marked the beginning of Habba’s involvement with Trump’s legal team. Since then, she has represented him in several high-stakes civil trials, including those brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James over alleged fraud, and defamation lawsuits filed by columnist E. Jean Carroll, who won significant judgments in court. Trump is currently appealing all of these cases.

Beyond the courtroom, Habba has become a strong voice in defending Trump’s reputation, regularly appearing on conservative media outlets to challenge the Democrats’ legal and political attacks. As part of her ongoing advocacy, she has also been vocal in condemning the political weaponization of the legal system against Trump, a battle she has described as “Lawfare.”

Habba’s new role as Counselor to the President solidifies her status as one of the most prominent and influential figures in Trump’s legal and political circles. She remains committed to standing by Trump, and her deep connection to the president, as well as her passionate defense of the rule of law, will likely play a crucial role as the Trump administration moves forward.
