President Trump’s pick for New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor, Alina Habba, isn’t backing down from controversy. The longtime Trump loyalist hit the ground running this week, defending the administration’s handling of national security while slamming left-wing critics.
Habba, now serving as interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, blasted The Atlantic’s reporting on leaked Signal messages as “noise” meant to distract from the administration’s successes. She stood by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, calling him a “tremendous” leader who helped take down Houthi terrorists. “We’re allowed to have communications,” Habba said, dismissing critics. “The press should focus on facts, not made-up drama.”
The new federal prosecutor didn’t hold back on local leaders either. She accused Senator Cory Booker and Governor Phil Murphy of letting crime and corruption run wild in New Jersey. “It stops now,” Habba vowed, promising to clean up the state’s Democrat-dominated mess.
Habba’s rapid rise from Trump’s personal lawyer to top law enforcement official has critics squawking. Liberals are furious she skipped Senate confirmation, but conservatives see a fighter who’ll finally enforce the law. “I’ll go after the right people, not political targets,” she said, echoing Trump’s promises to drain the swamp.
The Signal chat leak scandal dominated headlines, but Habba brushed it off. She called The Atlantic’s story a clout-chasing stunt by a reporter “trying to make a name for himself.” Administration officials clarified that no classified information was shared improperly.
Habba’s appointment continues Trump’s pattern of putting trusted allies in key roles. From Attorney General Pam Bondi to other Trump-trial lawyers now leading the Justice Department, the message is clear: loyalty matters. Habba’s lack of prosecutorial experience? Supporters say it doesn’t matter – she’s got street smarts from battling Trump’s legal enemies for years.
New Jersey residents tired of soft-on-crime policies have hope. Habba pledged to tackle fraud, violent crime, and government waste head-on. “If you threaten patriots like Elon Musk, we’re coming for you,” she warned, signaling a tough approach to law and order.
The left’s outrage machine is in overdrive, but Habba isn’t sweating. She’s focused on delivering results for Americans sick of woke politics and weak leadership. With Trump allies like Habba calling the shots, the administration is proving that America First isn’t just a slogan – it’s a battle plan.
