Trump's personal lawyer Alina Habba gets sworn in as interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Alina Habba was sworn in as the interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey on Friday. 

"This is a great day for law enforcement in our country," Trump said before Habba was sworn in. 

Habba was sworn in by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Habba is taking over for acting U.S. Attorney John Giordano, who Trump nominated as the new U.S. Ambassador to Namibia.

She is a Jersey-based attorney and became a spokesperson for Trump in 2021.

"As U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina will work tirelessly to weed out corruption and crime and restore law and order to the Garden State," Trump said.
