  "account": "US President Donald Trump's former counselor, Alina Habba, is about to marry Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon later this week. The union pairs a high-ranking figure from the president's administration with a relatively unknown businessman whose companies have undertaken significant projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo and have recently expanded into Venezuela. Habba, who served as Trump's legal representative in various legal proceedings between 2021 and 2024, is known to be close to the president. Trump appointed Habba as the acting US attorney for the District of New Jersey in the previous year, but a court later declared her appointment invalid, resulting in her resignation in December of that year. Although well-known within the United States, Mildon, who is 29 years old, has largely remained out of the public eye in Turkey, rarely appearing in the media or giving interviews. Mildon is the CEO of Miller Holding, a company based in Turkey and a descendant of the family business. While there has been limited coverage of his commercial activities, reports have surfaced regarding construction contracts secured by his companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo.",
