Alina Habba sent an explicitly political message as she entered President-elect Donald Trump’s New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday.
Trump announced last month that the telegenic lawyer would serve as his counselor to the president, the position Kellyanne Conway held during his first administration.
Habba arrived at Mar-a-Lago with a black and silver wallet that said “FJB.”
The phrase usually means “f*** Joe Biden.”
‘Just say HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE,’ she wrote in an Instagram postas she held the handbag high above her head.
For the black-tie occasion, she paired it with a flowing dress with silver sequins.
Habba had begun advising Trump on legal matters in 2021.
She reportedly met the former president at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, as her law firm, Habba Madaio & Associates, is located nearby.

In the run-up to the 2024 election, Habba became a MAGA mainstay, defending Trump through TV appearances and becoming a popular figure at his rallies.
“She has turned into one of Trump’s most trusted advisers,” a source told DailyMail.com earlier this month.
Trump has been organizing the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party for years.
This year’s event marked the public debut of Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend.
The Palm Beach socialite walked arm in arm with the former and future first son past the waiting cameras.
Other Trump family members at the large-scale party included wife Melania, who wore a stunning black dress and stood next to the president-elect as he answered questions from reporters.
When asked by a reporter if she had a New Year’s resolution, she replied, “we all know what we want… world peace.”
Eric and Lara Trump arrived together and then Lara took the stage to perform her rendition of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”
