Overview
- Attorney General Pam Bondi said a person tried to confront Habba on Wednesday night, destroyed property at her Newark office, and fled.
- Federal authorities are searching for the suspect, the FBI says it is aware of the incident, and officials have not announced an arrest or identified the person.
- Multiple outlets, citing people familiar, report the individual first arrived carrying a bat and was turned away by security, then returned without it and vandalized the office area while yelling.
- Habba said on X that she will not be intimidated, and Bondi vowed to use every legal tool to bring the perpetrator to justice.
- The episode comes as Habba’s status has been legally challenged, with the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hearing arguments last month on her appointment.
