President Donald Trump on Monday appointed Alina Habba, his personal lawyer to be an advisor to the white house, to serve as the next US lawyer for the New Jersey District.

Habba vowed to “end the weapons of justice, once and for all” in his new position.
“I am honored to serve my homemade state in New Jersey as a temporary US lawyer and I thank President Trump for entrusting me with this extraordinary responsibility,” he posted on X. “Just like I did during my time as a personal lawyer for President Trump, I will continue to fight for truth and justice. We will end the weaponry of justice, once and for all.
