The president said he would replace the current interim prosecutor of the United States, John Giordano, whom he has now nominated to be the United States ambassador to Namibia.
“I feel honored to serve my native state of New Jersey as an interim lawyer of the United States and I am grateful to President Trump for trusting this tremendous responsibility,” Haba wrote in X. “As I did during my time as personal lawyer of President Trump, I will continue fighting for truth and justice. We will finish the weapon of justice, once and for all.”
