A manhunt is currently underway for the suspect who attacked the office of Alina Habba, the acting U.S. attorney for the district of New Jersey. 

Fox News reports that, as of Friday morning, the suspect is still at large.

However, the Trump administration, led by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, is ramping up its efforts to bring the attacker to justice.

"Fled the scene"

It was Attorney General Pam Bondi, on Thursday, who revealed that an individual had targeted Habba's office.

Bondi wrote:

Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend @USAttyHabba— destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene. Thankfully, Alina is ok. 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.

Not much else is known about either the attack or the attacker.

Breitbart News reports:

On Wednesday, a male suspect allegedly attempted to confront Alina Habba before destroying “property in her office” and fleeing the scene. No other details of the incident have been provided . . . The exact motivation behind the attack or if the suspect specifically wanted to target Alina Habba for political purposes remains unclear. The attack comes two months after a gunman assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.

Other than this, no further information has been provided to the public.

"We will find this person..."

Habba released a public statement on the matter on Thursday.

She said, "I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job."

The attorney general also released another statement on the matter, saying that "we will find this person."

Bondi wrote:

We will find this person, and the individual will be brought to justice. Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people, and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.

As of Friday morning, there is no further update on the situation.
