Man With Bat Attacks Alina Habba’s Office

A violent lunatic attempted to confront acting US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba reportedly with a bat before allegedly trashing her office in a crazed fit – and the Department of Justice is on the hunt for the unhinged suspect.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi said the terrifying incident unfolded Wednesday night and vowed that the deranged suspect will be “brought to justice” amid a growing wave of political violence.

“Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend [Alina Habba] —destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene. Thankfully, Alina is ok,” Bondi wrote on X.

“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. We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice,” she continued.

“Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line everyday to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.”

Habba, President Trump’s former personal lawyer, was in her Newark office Wednesday night when the man allegedly appeared outside with a bat and was barred from entering the building, two people close to the matter told The New York Times.

He later returned without the bat, and security officers allowed him inside before he went up to Habba’s office and began shouting incoherently and destroying property, the outlet reported.

It’s unclear if the disturbed maniac was targeting the New Jersey native, who oversees all federal criminal prosecutions and civil litigations in the Garden State.

“I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job,” Habba, who was tapped for the temporary role by Trump in March, said on X.

The FBI is aware of the man’s appearance, an agency spokesperson told The Times.

While details about the alleged incident were not immediately available, the FBI said it would release more information when possible.

Wednesday’s attack is the latest in a disturbing wave of violence targeting elected officials, including President Trump, who narrowly escaped death when a would-be 20-year-old assassin fired at him and struck the then-candidate’s ear during a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In June, Former Minnesota Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband and dog, were gunned down and killed in their Minneapolis home in a politically motivated attack. Alleged assassin, Vance Boelter, is also accused of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, who both survived.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home was firebombed during Passover in April by a deranged attacker allegedly motivated by antisemitism while the Jewish lawmaker and his family slept.

And in September, conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University by accused gunman Tyler Robinson.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was also the victim of a domestic terror scheme aimed at abducting the lawmaker and overthrowing the state government in 2020.Politicians from both parties have since called for an end to political violence.
