‘We Won!’ Trump Lawyer Alina Habba Takes Victory Lap After Appeals Court Reduces $460M Fraud Bond
Trump lawyer Alina Habba did a triumphant victory dance on Fox News after the New York appeals court reduced the amount of former President Donald Trump’s fraud appeal bond to $175 million, proclaiming “We won!”
Monday was a mixed day for Trump as the hearing in the Stormy Daniels hush money case resulted in a denial of Trump’s attempts to delay the trial.
But while that hearing was going on, the New York appeals court announced Trump could have an additional ten days to post a reduced amount of $175 million to proceed with his appeal of the $460 million-plus fraud judgment hanging over his head.
On Monday night’s edition of Jesse Watters Primetime, Habba was gleeful over the ruling, declaring it a “win” while acknowledging it was an incomplete victory:
JESSE WATTERS: Let’s bring in Trump legal spokeswoman Alina Habba. Aliba (sic) what happened today?
ALINA HABBA: We won! (laughs) You know? No, we didn’t win. You know when we’ll win? When we get this all reversed, which is what’s going to happen.
So what happened today was that Leticia had to eat every single tweet she has posted since the day the twisted order from Judge Engoron came out with the ridiculous number, with the disgusting injustice on the American people, not just Donald Trump.
And I would love to see what she tweeted today because she was having fun posting the interest on a man who has done nothing wrong and a family, who has done nothing wrong every single day.
And then the Appellate Division came in and said, sorry, due process still exists in America. You still get a right to keep your assets until we get to review what all these lawyers are saying was wrong.
11 weeks I have never seen something, Jesse, like I saw in that courtroom. It was a travesty on the justice system. And I am so proud of the Appellate Division for giving us the opportunity.
They didn’t reverse the case, but they will when they see what we saw. It was a disgrace. And today there was a little bit of faith in the American system that that I’ve lost over the past few years. I’ll be honest with you.
