Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba issued a pessimistic assessment of the former president’s chances of avoiding conviction at his secret trial, which is currently taking place in New York.
“I don’t really have hope right now that the New York courts will do the right thing, that the jury will do the right thing,” Habba complained to Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on Wednesday.
Habba suggested that New York’s “blue state” status would be detrimental to the presumptive Republican Party nominee, who faces 34 charges of falsifying business records relating to hush money paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels before the 2016 elections.
“It’s very disturbing,” Habba said. “We’re in the fight of our lives right now,” she added, echoing MAGA’s debate rhetoric.
Habba is not representing Trump in this case, but has repeatedly made his baseless claims that his prosecution was a political stunt by President Joe Biden.
She defended Trump during his civil fraud trial in New York, which resulted in a fine of more than $455 million.
