In a horrifying post on X, Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that her office was investigating after the office of Alina Habba, Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, had been attacked by a radical who had meant to do her harm but was unable to do so because she was out of the office when the attack occurred.
As background, the announcement comes amidst AG Bondi facing vociferous criticism over her handling of Antifa in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with Antifa once again coming into the public view because it attacked conservatives, including TPUSA conservatives, during an event at UC Berkeley in California.
In any case, Bondi took to X to announce that Habba’s office had been attacked on the night of November 12, saying, “Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend @USAttyHabba — destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene. Thankfully, Alina is ok.”
Continuing, AG Bondi said that no such behavior would be tolerated by her office any longer, writing, “Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period. This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”
Adding to that, AG Bondi said, “We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice. Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.”
Responding to AG Bondi’s tweets and announcements in a tweet of her own on what happened and what she was thinking about the situation, Alina Habba vowed that the “radical lunatic” who had attacked her office would not be able to intimidate her into not doing her job, saying, “I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job.”
Then, in the morning on Saturday, November 15, AG Bondi announced, “Thanks to the great work of @FBI, @USMarshalsHQ, and @HSI_HQ the suspect wanted in the attack on @USAttyHabba ’s office is now in custody. No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great US Attorneys or the destruction of their offices.”

AG Habba, quote-tweeting that, said, “We got him. This @TheJusticeDept under @AGPamBondi and our federal partners will not tolerate any acts of intimidation or violence toward law enforcement. So grateful to @FBI @HSI_HQ and @USMarshalsHQ for their tireless work to capture him. Now justice will handle him.”
This isn’t the only political attack on federal agents that Habba and Bondi have been dealing with. In a recent post on X that Habba retweeted, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced, “This verdict sends a clear message. An attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate is an attack on our Republic and on the rights of every citizen.”
He added, “The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue those who try to silence political voices, and no enemy, foreign or domestic, will ever silence the will of the American people. I want to thank and congratulate the trial team and our law enforcement partners for their outstanding work and dedication in bringing this case to justice.”
