Alina Habba: They are prosecuting Trump because the can’t win the Elections

Alina Habba, a lawyer and spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, alleged that Democrats are targeting the Republican presidential nominee in court because they are unable to defeat him through electoral means.

“The fact that we have two courts, not one — criminal and civil — being used against one man because they cannot beat him in the polls is a disgrace to the American judicial system,” she said in remarks at the New York State Supreme Court Building in Manhattan after opening arguments in the hush money case.

Habba mentioned that she had recently attended another court session where Trump faced accusations of inflating his asset values to obtain advantageous loans, which he has since repaid. Initially, he was instructed to post a $454 million bond before appealing, but an appellate court later reduced it to $175 million. On Monday, New York Judge Arthur Engoron approved this bond, effectively preventing New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, from seizing his assets while the case is under appeal.

Habba accused Engoron of not understanding “basic principles of financing” and said he and James “had no idea what they were talking about.”

“I am sick of coming in front of the press and saying this, but you have to because you people need to understand what is going on. God forbid you put an accounting thing in for ‘legal counsel.’ … Because they’re afraid of 2024. And you know what? They should be because the American people are not stupid. They see what’s going on,” she said.
