Trump’s attorney said voters could see through the efforts of federal and state prosecutors. Alina Habba says Attorney General Merrick Garland “wasn’t tough enough” in prosecuting her boss, President-elect Donald Trump. “He wasn’t tough enough? Was it not tough enough when we spent three and a half years with indictments, shams and hoaxes with cases?” Habba said while speaking to Fox News on Monday.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) was tasked with investigating Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents after a cache of them were found at his Mar-a-Lago home in 2022. The incoming president was hit with 40 criminal counts related to the federal government’s case. He pleaded not guilty before the case was dropped shortly after his re-election.
Habba, who has been tapped to serve as counsel to the incoming president, told a network host her boss “had it so rough” but managed to come “out on top because America saw what they did.” She was referring to the efforts of federal and state prosecutors to convict Trump.
Habba, Trump’s personal attorney, added that Garland “should be ashamed of himself” for bringing the federal case forward against the president-elect. “It wasn’t just about President Trump. It was about our Constitution. It was about the foundation of this country. And they wanted to turn us into a third-world country,” she said. “And they failed.”.
