Trump Lawyer Gets Indignant When Fox News Host Corrects Her on Ex-President’s Trial: ‘How Can You Say the Biden Administration Is Not Responsible for This?’

 

Fox News host Shannon Bream challenged lawyer Alina Habba, who falsely claimed President Joe Biden is responsible for the prosecution of her client, Donald Trump.

The former president is on trial in New York on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Trump arranged hush money payments to conceal extramarital affairs he had before the 2016 election, lest they affect his chances of winning.

He is also under criminal indictment in three other jurisdictions – two of which are federal cases.

As the jury deliberated on Wednesday, Habba joined Fox News’ coverage of the trial.

“Joe Biden, unfortunately, can’t really do anything in office,” said Habba, who is not representing Trump in the New York case. “So, he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip-and-fall and make money. And that is frankly what we’re seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show because he’s got to distract the American people.”

Bream interjected and pointed out Biden is not behind Trump’s indictment.

“But the Biden administration’s not responsible for this trial,” she said.

“How can you say the Biden administration is not responsible for this trial?” an indignant Habba asked.

“It’s a state trial,” Bream answered. “It’s Alvin Bragg. Whether you think there’s a political motive for him, it’s not connected to the DOJ. I mean, the feds passed on these election charges.”

“Shannon, you should look at how many logs they have of state officials – Letitia James, Fani Willis – visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial.”

“The feds passed on this, is the point I’m making,” Bream reiterated.

Habba doubled down, insisting that Biden is behind the prosecution.
