Trump appointed this Muslim female lawyer of Iraqi origin as his advisor
America's newly elected President Donald Trump is busy preparing his team before taking oath. Trump has announced to appoint the lawyer who fought his case in a bribery case in New York as his advisor. Trump's lawyer Alina Hubba fought a case for Trump earlier this year and has also been his legal spokesperson.
This move of Trump shows that he is taking along with him the people who supported him while he was away from power. The newly elected president wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, that Hubba has been loyal to her work and her intentions are unmatched.
Hubba has risen rapidly in Trump's legal circles to become one of his most high-profile lawyers. Hubba has frequently spoken out in his support on television.

In May, a New York court convicted Trump of all 34 charges of bribing a porn actor to illegally influence the 2016 election, making him the first former US president to be convicted of serious crimes. In his previous term, Trump had given this position to Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway.
Habba is of Iraqi origin
Habba is a lawyer of Iraqi origin. She has often appeared with Trump in his election campaign. Apart from this, Trump announced on Sunday that he would appoint his former employee Michael Anton as the director of policy planning in the State Department. Anton served as the spokesperson of the National Security Council from 2017 to 2018.
