Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba is no longer on the former president’s legal defense team in the high-stakes New York state fraud case and will assume a new role with his political action committee.

Mr. Trump’s Save America leadership PAC announced in a statement on July 7 that Ms. Habba will take over as its legal spokesperson and general counsel. Ms. Habba’s New Jersey law firm, according to the PAC, will still assist Mr. Trump with “certain legal matters.”
