Trump taps his attorney Alina Habba to serve as counselor to the president

Associated Press  

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he is appointing one of his defense attorneys in the New York hush money case as counselor to the president. “Few understand the Weaponization of the ‘Injustice’ System better than Alina.” Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes when a New York jury in May found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex. Habba frequently accompanied Trump on the campaign trail and was one of the speakers at the late October rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden. On Sunday, Trump also announced he is bringing back former staffer Michael Anton to serve as director of policy planning at the State Department.
