Former President Donald Trump’s attorney and legal spokeswoman, Alina Habba, recently ripped into Special Counsel Jack Smith during an interview on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, saying that the array of charges Trump is facing are an effort to “tie him up” ahead of the 2024 election.
Speaking about the situation, Habba first argued that the impetus behind the cases is a political one, with the left wanting to tie Trump up before the election so that he has a hard time running, while adding that Jack Smith needs to be investigated by Jim Jordan alongside Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
She said, “We’re not concerned because we know the facts of the cases, which I can’t get into, obviously, for privileged reasons, but I can tell you that it’s to tie him up. It’s definitely political. The motivation [of Fulton County DA Fani Willis] is now under investigation by Jim Jordan for, and I believe Jack Smith should be investigated as well.”
Continuing, she noted one mistake those targeting Trump made, which is that the two trials they have set up are going to be massive ones that also overlap, which she argued is something no judge will allow to occur and which makes the cases look even more politically motivated.
As she put it, “These trial dates also are going to move. It’s unrealistic. It’s theatrics, and no judge is going to say that you can be on two trials at once in two different states because a lot of these overlap. They look at the start date of the trial, but these are four- to six-week trials at the least. So there’s no way they’re not going to overlap. I mean, they’re gonna have to go into October, November of next year, again, by design.”
Trump, in a post on Truth Social about the lawsuits, said, “Please realize that all of these Indictments and Lawsuits against me are conceived and run by Radical Left Democrats, the same lunatics that are destroying our Country. The Indictments and Litigation are highly partisan Election Interference! Now we are in a partially corrupt “System of Justice,” filled up with Marxists, Fascists, Communists, and Radical Left Democrats, but also with Great American Patriots who see what is happening to our Country, and won’t allow it to continue. WE WILL WIN!”
In another, similar post, he said, “These Indictments and lawsuits are all part of my political opponents campaign plan. It is Election Interference, and they are going to use the DOJ/FBI to help them, which is illegal. Crooked Joe pushed this litigation hard to get it done. This is a new low in Presidential Politics. To the Democrats, I say, ‘be careful what you wish for.‘”
And, in a post attacking Jack Smith, he said, “Deranged Jack Smith & his team of Thugs, who were caught going to the White House just prior to Indicting the 45th President of the United States (an absolute No No!), have been working on this Witch Hunt for almost 3 years, but decided to bring it smack in the middle of Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent’s campaign against him. Election Interference! Today a biased, Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!”
