Donald Trump is ‘eying firebrand lawyer Alina Habba for White House press secretary role’

Donald Trump is considering tapping his firebrand attorney Alina Habba to be his top spokesperson once he takes office in January, according to reports.

DailyMail.com has learned that Habba, 40, is flying to Palm Beach in Florida on Tuesday evening and is expected to have a discussion with the President-elect this week about a potential role in his administration.

She could be asked to join Trump as his White House press secretary, a hugely high-profile job that requires sparring with members of the media daily, and being the ‘face’ of the administration.

Known as the attack dog of his campaign, Habba was often seen at Trump’s rallies urging his supporters to stick it to liberals and vote him in for a second term.

Although Trump hasn’t come to a decision yet, Habba has emerged as the favorite according to reports.

Karoline Leavitt, the campaign spokeswoman, is also considered to be a top contender.

Both women have been alongside Trump through every twist and turn in this election.

That included his closely-watched New York hush-money trial, the aftermath of two assassination attempts, and a grueling campaign.

Habba, whose law firm is based in New Jersey, joined Trump’s legal team in 2021 after meeting him at his country club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

At the time, a pile of lawsuits was growing related to the 2020 election.

She was brought on to handle several cases, including E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit, which ended in an $83 million verdict against Trump.

She also represented him in the New York civil fraud case that ended in a $454 million judgment against Trump and is currently in an appeal phase.

Working on these cases and becoming a voice for the election fraud lawsuits, Habba quickly became Trump’s most high-profile attorney, one of his most vocal defenders, and a firebrand MAGA icon.

Trump’s Save America PAC paid Habba’s firm almost $2 million in legal fees in 2022.

Habba was a legal spokeswoman for Trump, often taking on media outside courtrooms – and she became a senior advisor to the former and future president’s campaign in the final months.

She spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July and had a speaking slot at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in midtown Manhattan the week before the 2024 presidential election.

Habba quickly emerged as a crowd favorite and is known for her brutal speeches going after Democrats.

She spoke at several rallies, including ones in the swing state of Pennsylvania where she touted her links to the state.

The legal guru, 40, married Centerpark CEO Gregg Reuben in 2020.

The couple co-parent her children Chloe and Luke from her previous marriage to Matthew Eyet, along with Reuben’s son Parker from his previous relationship.

Most recently, Habba was spotted singing the song, ‘Trump Won’, during post election celebrations at Mar-a-Lago.

She was born in New Jersey to Chaldean Catholic parents who fled being persecuted in Iraq in the 1980s.

Her first job was in fashion working for the Marc Jacobs brand.

Then, she earned her law degree from Widener University in Pennsylvania, in 2010.

Habba was a clerk for New Jersey Superior Court Judge Eugene Codey Jr.

Then she was in private practice for several years and went on to start her own law firm in New Jersey.

That led to her meeting Trump at his New Jersey golf club and she quickly became one of his most high-profile and vocal lawyers and defenders.

In the E. Jean Carroll case she had frequent disagreements with Judge Lewis Kaplan, who even threatened her with jail.

At one point Judge Kaplan said: ‘Ms Habba, you are on the verge of spending some time in the lock-up, now sit down.’
