President Trump has named his former personal lawyer Alina Habba as the interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, shaking up the legal landscape. Habba, a fierce defender of the president, wasted no time laying out her tough-on-crime agenda during an explosive appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime.
Habba made it clear she’ll target fraud and threats against American patriots. “If you threaten anybody, especially someone taking care of this country, we will come at you,” she warned. Her comments come as her office takes over high-profile cases, including the prosecution of a Columbia University graduate accused of supporting Hamas.
The new interim attorney has deep ties to New Jersey, growing up in Summit as the daughter of Iraqi immigrants. Despite having no prior prosecutorial experience, Habba’s loyalty to President Trump earned her this powerful role. Conservatives praise her appointment as a much-needed change from what they call “weak, woke prosecutors” who’ve let crime spiral.
During her TV interview, Habba blasted New Jersey Democrats like Governor Murphy and Senator Cory Booker for “failing the state.” She vowed to clean up corruption, saying, “We will end the weaponization of justice once and for all.” This fiery rhetoric energizes Trump supporters who feel traditional Republicans haven’t fought hard enough.
Habba replaces John Giordano, who held the interim position for just weeks before being shipped off as Ambassador to Namibia. The swift replacement shows Trump’s commitment to installing allies who’ll aggressively push his America First policies. Critics call the move pure cronyism, but supporters argue it’s about restoring law and order.
The leftmedia immediately attacked Habba’s lack of qualifications, ignoring her successful private law career. Meanwhile, conservative viewers cheered her promise to tackle voter fraud and welfare abuse. “You’ve got nine-month-old kids getting $100,000 checks? That’s your taxpayer dollars at work,” Habba scoffed during her Fox interview.
Jesse Watters gave Habba a friendly platform to outline her priorities, including investigating threats against Elon Musk’s Tesla. The segment highlighted how conservative media amplifies Trump-aligned officials while legacy outlets obsess over “controversies.”
With only 120 days in the role unless extended, Habba moves quickly to prove herself. Her appointment signals Trump’s broader strategy – replacing establishment bureaucrats with fighters who’ll battle the radical left’s lawfare tactics. For millions of Americans tired of soft-on-crime policies, Habba’s blunt talk offers hope that justice will finally be served.
