In a significant security development, Alina Habba, former attorney for Donald Trump, has had her access to US military installations abruptly terminated. The decision comes after her appearance on a Fox News segment where she made startling claims about Trump supporters within the armed forces.
Controversial Comments Spark Immediate Action
During an interview with Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth, Habba asserted that "we have a lot of people in the military who are loyal to President Trump" and suggested the existence of a covert network awaiting Trump's return to power. These remarks prompted swift intervention from defence officials concerned about protocol breaches and inappropriate political statements.
Access Revoked at Multiple Installations
Military sources confirmed that Habba's credentials for Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia - home to crucial FBI and DEA training facilities - were immediately suspended. The revocation extends to multiple other sensitive defence sites across the country, effectively barring the attorney from entering any secured military property.
Security Protocols Triggered
Defence insiders revealed that Habba's comments activated standard security review procedures. "When public figures make statements suggesting insider knowledge of military allegiances or potential insurrectionary elements, protocol demands immediate risk assessment and appropriate action," explained a Pentagon source speaking on condition of anonymity.
Broader Implications for Political Discourse
This incident highlights the ongoing tension between political rhetoric and military neutrality. The swift revocation demonstrates the defence establishment's commitment to maintaining the armed forces' political impartiality, particularly following the January 6th Capitol riots.
Legal experts suggest this case may establish precedent for how military institutions handle similar situations involving political figures and their associates in future.
Ongoing Security Review
Defence officials confirm that security protocols at Quantico and other sensitive installations are undergoing comprehensive review. The investigation will examine access credential procedures and enhance safeguards against potential internal threats while maintaining the military's traditional political neutrality.
