American media revealed, on Monday (December 9, 2024), that US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed his lawyer of Iraqi origin, Alina Habba, as his advisor.
Alina, 40, was part of a team of lawyers in the "hush money" case in New York, defending Trump earlier this year and serving as his legal spokeswoman.
“She was steadfast in her loyalty and unmatched in her will,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network. “She stood by me through countless trials, battles, and countless days in court.”
Trump became the first former US president to be convicted of a criminal offence when a New York jury found him guilty in May of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election by paying hush money to a porn actress who said she had an affair.
It is noteworthy that in Trump's first term, Republican Kellyanne Conway served as advisor to the president, and Alina Habba is of Iraqi origin and is Chaldean, the largest Christian sect in Iraq, which follows the Eastern rites of the Catholic Church.
