Internet mocks Alina Habba as she says she does not have 'high hopes' for Trump case verdict

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Alina Habba, one of the legal representatives of former US President Donald Trump, expressed cautious skepticism regarding the outcome of his ongoing civil fraud case.

During an interview with Eric Bolling of Newsmax, Habba disclosed that she harbors no "high hopes" for a favorable verdict in the New York litigation, per a report by Newsweek.

She further noted that the case is marred by "corruption," an allegation that raises pertinent questions about its verdict, which is expected to be delivered this week.

Habba alleges 'corruption runs deep'

Habba remarked, "I don't have high hopes. I do believe that there is some, you know, ethics left. I hope that Judge Engoron sees through this but quite honestly I've seen it time and time again. I've been on weeks and weeks and weeks of trial in New York and the corruption runs deep, the Trump derangement syndrome frankly runs even deeper and they can't see straight."

She also stated that no laws were breached, despite the partial judgment finding Trump overvalued assets.

Judge Arthur Engoron is anticipated to render a final verdict this week in the civil fraud lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James against the 77-year-old Republican presidential frontrunner.

In September of last year, Judge Engoron issued a partial summary judgment, ruling that Donald Trump and top executives at The Trump Organization committed fraud.

The ruling specified that Trump had substantially inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and insurers.

In addition to determining the amount of damages the former President is required to pay, Engoron will also adjudicate six other allegations, including falsifying business records, insurance fraud, and conspiracy claims.

Trump's trial concluded in early January, and Judge Engoron initially aimed to issue his ruling by January 31. However, the decision was delayed.

Habba, who also represented the former president in his E Jean Carroll defamation case, expressed skepticism about the verdict to host Bolling and suggested that she would challenge the decision by filing an appeal if it does not favor Trump.

"I will be loud and booming right after we get the decision," the attorney stated.

The former US President and his attorney, Habba, have both accused prosecutors of corruption, as per Truth Social posts on Tuesday.

Trump alleged that Attorney General James "knew nothing about my tremendously successful business, but still campaigned on, 'I will get Trump.'"

He further claimed that the legal proceedings against him are the result of a political ploy to undermine his position ahead of the 2024 election.

Additionally, Trump criticized the judge presiding over the case as "the politically biased judge on this rigged case" who "refused to acknowledge that the Appellate Division has already ruled in my favor on Statute of Limitations, and effectively ended this litigation."

In the event of an unfavorable ruling by Judge Engoron, Trump may be required to pay a substantial penatly.

AG James is seeking the return of $370 million in profits that Trump earned.

Internet slams Habba for anticipating defeat

People on X rippe Habba for her remarks ahead of the ruling this week.

One X user remarked, "She’s upset she can’t win a case based on Trump’s “alternative facts”."

Another asked, "Does she know that they already lost this case?"

A user quipped, "She's the best lawyer no money can buy."

Someone else wrote, "She is *such* a bad lawyer. He might as well have represented himself."

Another X user remarked, "When a lawyer says there have been no laws broken but a court case has found there was and the evidence is irrefutable then, said lawyer needs to attand a refresher course."

Another tweeted, "It must absolutely suck when your client is guilty as hell, impulsive & doesn't keep his mouth shut and you're a woefully inexperienced & horrible lawyer so, she goes on tv to prove how utterly unprofessional she is by spewing lies."
