The president-elect announced another flurry of appointments for his second term on Sunday night.
President-elect Donald Trump tapped his long-time attorney Alina Habba to serve as counselor to the president in the White House, amid another flurry of late-night appointments on Sunday.
“She has been unwavering in her loyalty, and unmatched in her resolve—standing with me through numerous ’trials,‘ battles, and countless days in Court. Few understand the Weaponization of the ’Injustice’ System better than Alina, who has fought relentlessly against the full force of Lawfare with courage and an unshakable commitment to Justice,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“As a first generation American of Middle Eastern Heritage, she has become a role model for women in Law and Politics, most recently being named Chaldean Woman of the Year. Congratulations to Alina, her husband Gregg, and her three beautiful children, Chloe, Luke, and Parker.”
Trump also named his nominees for positions in the State Department, which Sen. Marco Rubio has been nominated to lead.
Former Trump administration Ambassador to Mexico Christopher Landau was nominated for the position of deputy secretary of state, and Rubio aide Michael Needham has been tapped as counselor of the Department of State.
