Trump ally Alina Habba says she would “very seriously” consider becoming his press secretary

Alina Habba, a key ally and former lawyer of President-elect Donald Trump, announced Tuesday that she would “very seriously” consider serving as his White House press secretary.

Habba, 40, was asked multiple times by Fox News host Sean Hannity about a report that said she was “the favorite” for the role and did not rule out the possibility of serving in the new administration.

“I’ll leave it to the president and the three people who are on my board – those are Luke, Chloe and Parker, my children. Everyone will know in time,” she said.

Habba declined to say whether she has spoken to the Trump-Vance transition team about becoming White House press secretary, while praising the “amazing Cabinet” the president-elect is assembling from his transition headquarters in Palm Beach, Florida .

“They’re destroying it on all fronts… It’s time to stand up for ‘America First,’ and whatever that looks like for President Trump and his team, I trust that.” It’s a decision everyone has to make. Not me,” she said.

When pressed by the Fox News host, Habba indicated that he was interested in leading the daily White House briefings or serving in another capacity in the Trump administration

“I am very loyal to President Trump. I would think about it very seriously,” she said.

The Trump-Vance transition team and Habba did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Mediaite, citing anonymous sources, described Habba as “a leading candidate” for the White House press secretary job and claimed that the lawyer “is expected to be at Mar-a-Lago this week for discussions about a possible role.”

Habba, the founder of the Bedminster, New Jersey-based law firm Habba Madaio & Associates, joined Trump’s legal team in 2021 and has represented the president-elect in several high-profile legal cases.

The fiery lawyer defended Trump in celebrity E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit and New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil fraud case against the president-elect.

During Trump’s third run for the White House, Habba appeared frequently on news shows and at his campaign rallies, defending the then-presidential candidate from the barrage of litigation and investigations launched against him.

Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham and Kayleigh McEnany served as White House press secretaries during Trump’s first term in the White House.
