Speculation is mounting over whether Alina Habba could replace Pam Bondi as US Attorney General after she posted a picture on Friday with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office.
Habba's post came just hours after Bondi’s abrupt dismissal by President Donald Trump. She wrote in the caption, “Always a pleasure.”
After months of controversy about her mishandling of the Epstein files and her inability to bring charges against the President's political rivals, Trump sacked Bondi.
Habba has been a longtime legal adviser and vocal defender of Trump and has remained a prominent figure in his political and legal circles. She previously served as acting US Attorney for the District of New Jersey and is currently a senior adviser within the Justice Department.
Her close ties to Trump and visibility in recent months have made her a natural subject of speculation following Bondi’s abrupt exit.
However, multiple reports emphasise that her potential appointment remains officially unconfirmed.
Habba is not the only name being floated as a potential successor. According to reports and prediction markets, several other figures are being considered for the role.
