Alina Habba, the lawyer for former President Donald Trump, chastised New York Attorney General Letitia James and swore vengeance after the Republican front-runner lost badly in court.
A decision that the Trump Organization engaged in extensive fraud led to an injunction on Friday requiring Trump to pay $354 million in damages. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., his sons, also have multi-million dollar penalties ahead of them. For a minimum of two years, none of the three may continue to run their businesses in New York.
In a Friday night interview with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, Habba—who represented Trump in both this New York case and his failed civil defamation action against E. Jean Carroll—vowed to pursue James and Judge Arthur Engoron.
HANNITY: The question is, how does the judge get away with being far more guilty of the very thing that they said Donald Trump was guilty of?
HABBA: I think the biggest message I can give the American people tonight is that he’s not going to get away with it. Letitia James is not going to get away with it. The Biden administration is not going to get away with it. There is a point, and I want to say something that I different than I normally do. We have the order now. I’m free to speak. And let me just say, as somebody who sat there in the trial, Sean, and I’m so happy you invited me on to say this. They will not get away with it. We will come at them. We will come hard, and we will literally fight until the truth comes out. There was nothing wrong. President Trump has done nothing wrong. All he has done is won a campaign. And that is scaring them because they know when he goes back in November 2024, he is going to clean house. And that is truly the problem. It’s not about Mar-a-Lago’s worth. It’s not worth 18 million. It’s worth probably 1.5 billion at the least. It is not about the worth of Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street. That’s not what this is about, Sean. You know it, and I know it.
This is the new form of election interference. This is a campaign that cannot succeed with Biden and Kamala. So what they have to do is weaponize. Da is an AGS, have Soros back them, fund them, Reid Hoffman back them, fund them and come after Trump. Everything Trump, including his children, his company employees that are working for him, doing their job. That is the desperation of our country at this moment, which is about to go into world war. This is crazy. And it is. It’s Trump derangement syndrome. That’s literally the best thing I could explain to you. And just know this, and for all those people that understand what is going on, we will win. We will fight because the facts are on our side. There are politicized judges. There are politicized DA’s and AGS. But I do not have a doubt that in the end we will succeed.
A New York jury determined last month that Trump had defamed Carroll, and as a result, he owes her $83.3 million. A different jury last year determined that Trump had defamed the writer because she had claimed he had abused her in the 1990s, and they awarded the writer $5 million in damages.
