President Trump swears in Alina Haba as acting Attorney for New Jersey

In a significant event for New Jersey, President Trump officially swore in Alina Haba as the acting district attorney during a ceremony held in Utah on March 28, 2025. Haba, a prominent legal counsel for the Trump administration from 2021 to 2025, has been a vocal supporter of the president and played a crucial role in navigating various legal challenges faced by the administration.

Haba, a graduate of Kent Place School and Lehigh University, transitioned from the fashion industry to law, where she has made a name for herself as a staunch advocate for Trump. Her appointment as acting district attorney marks a notable return to her home state, where she is expected to bring her extensive legal experience to the role.

The ceremony also highlighted Trump's ongoing commitment to his administration's agenda, as he prepares for a working weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The event follows a week of active engagement for the president, including discussions on health initiatives in West Virginia led by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. These initiatives aim to improve the health and productivity of West Virginians, emphasizing physical fitness and community involvement.

As Haba steps into her new role, her background and previous work with Trump suggest she will continue to be a key figure in the administration's legal strategies. This appointment not only reflects Trump's trust in her capabilities but also underscores the administration's focus on maintaining strong leadership in critical positions.

The swearing-in ceremony serves as a reminder of the ongoing political dynamics and the importance of local leadership in shaping community outcomes. As Haba takes on her responsibilities, residents of New Jersey will be watching closely to see how her tenure impacts the state's legal landscape and public service.
