Alina Habba says she is not considering being Donald Trump's press secretary

Alina Habba has ruled herself out of being part of Donald Trump’s ad despite speculation she was the favourite.

The firebrand lawyer was thought to be a leading candidate for one of the administration’s top jobs.

But on Thursday morning he announced he was withdrawing his name from consideration.

“While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering,” Habba wrote in X. “While I love shouting from a podium, I will be better served in other capacities.”

Habba is known as Trump’s attack dog and has been battle-tested when it comes to taking on combative members of the press.

Initially brought into Trump’s circle to be his lawyer on a series of high-profile legal cases, Habba joined the campaign as a senior adviser this summer.

It is unclear whether he will have an official role in the Trump White House.

‘This administration (sic) is going to be epic!’ Habba wrote in X when she made the decision not to be the next press secretary. ‘I am very proud of the Trump team, the latest appointments and 47!’
