An individual attempted to “confront” New Jersey Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our US Attorneys, my dear friend @USAttyHabba, destroyed property in her office and then fled the scene,” Bondi published in X Thursday. “Fortunately, Alina is fine.”
“No violence or threat of violence against any federal official will be tolerated. Period,” Bondi’s post continued. “Unfortunately, this is becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement officers across the country.”

Details about the alleged incident were not immediately provided.
“Our federal prosecutors, agents and law enforcement partners risk their lives every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent criminals fully accountable,” Bondi said in his post.
Habba is a close ally of President Trump and was one of his lawyers and White House counsel before being named acting U.S. attorney.
