Alina Habba

David Rivera and Esther Nuhfer were convicted on all counts today. They took millions from the communist regime in Venezuela to secretly influence U.S. policy, and concealed it not just from the American government, but from their own close political allies and personal friends. Foreign influence carried out in secret is corruption. Today, a jury held them accountable.

Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York: "We had a case in the Justice Department last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center... at bottom, the allegations are that this organization was creating hate in order to expand their mission of combating hate. If that’s going on—and it is—it’s going on in America, it’s going on through organizations like that. It’s also going on with foreign actors funding these types of organizations because they want us to fight with each other. So, everybody needs to take a step back and say, who is causing me to have these emotions? And are we are we creating an environment where those emotions are causing us to do things that are harmful to the American public?"

Welcome to the fight, Joe!

Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration. Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history. Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court. I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.
