Who is Alina Habba, Donald Trump's lawyer?

One of the most striking elements to emerge from Donald Trump's defamation trial has been the frequent clashes between his lawyer, Alina Habba, and the seasoned judge who has at times questioned her understanding of the law. At 39 years old, Ms Habba has risen from a little-known litigator to representing the former president of the United States in some of his most personally perilous cases. A New Jersey native, she was born to two Chaldean Catholics who fled persecution in Iraq in the early 1980s.
