Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba's office was violently vandalized Wednesday evening by a person who earlier in the day had been denied entry to the building because he had a baseball bat, two law enforcement sources said.
The person, who has not yet been identified, returned to the building without the bat and was allowed to enter.
In Habba's waiting room, he requested and was denied a meeting with the acting U.S. attorney, the sources told CBS News. He then began smashing things in the waiting area before fleeing the scene.
The person has not been apprehended.
Habba addressed the incident in a statement on X Thursday afternoon.
"I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job," Habba said.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in her own X post Thursday
