President-elect Trump made this known that Alina Habba would join his White House team as an adviser to the president on Sunday evening.
“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 wrote in a post on Truth Social. “She has been steadfast in her loyalty and unparalleled in her determination. She has stood by me through countless ‘trials,’ battles and countless days in court.”
The president-elect noted that there are not many people who understand the weaponization of the system of “injustice” as well as Habba.
“As a first-generation Middle Eastern American, she has become a role model for women in law and politics, and was recently named Chaldean Woman of the Year.” Trump continued. “Congratulations to Alina, her husband Gregg and her three beautiful children, Chloe, Luke and Parker.”
