Trump picks his lawyer Alina Habba to serve as presidential counselor
President-elect Trump selected his personal lawyer Alina Habba to serve as counselor to the president in his incoming administration, per a Sunday evening announcement.
Why it matters: It's the latest example of Trump giving top administration roles to lawyers who've defended him in court. Habba has represented him in some of his most high-profile civil cases.
What he's saying: "Alina has been a tireless advocate for Justice, a fierce Defender of the Rule of Law, and an invaluable Advisor to my Campaign and Transition Team," Trump said in a statement.
"She has been unwavering in her loyalty, and unmatched in her resolve – standing with me through numerous 'trials,' battles, and countless days in Court," he added.
"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."
