President-Elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that his personal lawyer, Alina Habba, will serve as counselor to the president in his upcoming second term.

Trump says in a Truth Social post that Habba has shown “unwavering loyalty” as part of Trump’s legal team across several criminal and civil trials, and calls her a “tireless advocate for justice.”

Habba has served as legal spokesperson for Trump and a senior advisor for his Super PAC, MAGA, Inc. since 2021.
