Trump Attorney Habba Says Fair Judge Would Lead to 'Full Acquittal'


Former President Donald Trump’s lawyer and spokeswoman on Sunday declared that if the judge overseeing her client’s hush money case had been fair, the jury would have quickly and reasonably granted him a full acquittal.

“I’m hoping for a verdict that makes sense, which should be a complete acquittal,” Alina Habba told “Sunday Morning Futures” guest host Sean Parnell. “Worst case, if there’s politicization, which I’m sure there will be, there should be a hung jury. But I sat there. There was nothing. And I was sitting next to Alan Dershowitz in court when that judge lost his mind and threw the press out. The only time you censor the press is when you don’t want them to hear our witness. It’s crazy.”

Earlier, she said that the jury should have been sequestered the several days they were released by the judge over the Memorial Day observance.

” They should have been sequestered because, in my opinion, these jurors are handling something that is completely unprecedented and unwarranted in America,” she said.

“And for them to be able to be out and about on a holiday weekend with friends and families who have opinions, who are watching the news, TVs on the background at the pool party, I have serious concerns. If they’re left-winging and they’re watching MSDNC, as my client calls it, or CNN, they’re not going to get fair news,” she added.

“They’re going to hear — but, by the way, they have been saying that this case is a hoax, which is shocking. But they know that the jurors are out there listening. And I have concerns about that. Time is — can be on your side sometimes,” she added.

“But, in this instance, I have worries about them going back to whatever friends might have Trump derangement syndrome, forgetting all sense of reality, and coming back and sitting in that box and saying, you know what, I have got to take one for the DNC,” said Habba. “I don’t want that. I want law to fact, because, if we can get that, we will win, we will not just get a hung jury, we will get an acquittal. So let’s see.”
