Fox Anchor Presses Trump Lawyer Alina Habba On ‘Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars’ Due In Bombshell Fraud Case
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum repeatedly asked Trump lawyer Alina Habba about when former President Donald Trump will pay the “hundreds of millions” due for the bombshell judgment against him.
Trump and Habba have been trying to delay or reduce payment of the fraud judgment that could cost him in excess of $460 million if appeals are unsuccessful, as well as the $83.3 million judgment Trump owes for defaming E. Jean Carroll while he was president.
On Wednesday’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Story with Martha MacCallum,
MACCALLUM: Alina, before I let you go, any update on the hundreds of millions of dollars that the former president is due to pay in the New York case?
There was a request to make it a smaller amount. Where does that stand now?
HABBA: We’re waiting on an appeal. Obviously, the judge was receptive to some of our arguments. We appeared before the appellate division just last week.
He obviously amended the order in terms of allowing the Trump children and Trump family to continue to operate their business and to get loans, which was a big step in the right direction.
As I have always said, Martha, this is going to be a long game. We knew we were not going to be successful. We lost before the trial started. And we’re just going to have to push and push and push and hopefully have our facts and heard — case heard, just like it was last week, and chip away at this.
MACCALLUM: And what’s your understanding of when the rest of the money is due, Alina?
HABBA: It’s due shortly, but we have pending appeals. We have pending motions that we have to have decisions on. So we’re going to be patient and wait.
MACCALLUM: OK.
Alina Habba, thank you very much. Always good to see you. Thank you for coming by today.
HABBA: Thank you. Good to see you.
