Alina Habba's new job in Trump's Justice Dept. isn't much better than her old one

Last edited Wed Dec 10, 2025, 09:10 PM - Edit history (1)

But as part of her announcement, the Republican lawyer also let the public know about her next gig. From Habba’s written statement:

My fight will now stretch across the country. As we wait for further review of the court’s ruling, I will continue to serve the Department of Justice as the Senior Advisor to the Attorney General for U.S. Attorneys.


Around the same time, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed in a statement that Habba will be “continuing with the Justice Department” as Bondi’s senior advisor on federal prosecutors nationwide.

It’s possible that this is a meaningless consolation prize, and that Habba will have few meaningful responsibilities beyond her frequent appearances in conservative media......
