'Using one brain cell she has': Alina Habba trolled after she expresses doubt about Donald Trump winning his hush money trial

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Alina Habba, acting as a legal spokesperson in former President Donald Trump's ongoing Manhattan hush money criminal trial, found herself at the center of online ridicule after she candidly expressed doubts about her client's prospects of a favorable outcome, as per OK! Magazine.

During a recent interview, Habba made remarks that suggested she lacked optimism about the New York courts and jury delivering a just verdict, prompting a storm of mockery from social media users.

Alina Habba expresses doubt in Donald Trump's hush money trial

During an interview on Newsmax's 'Greg Kelly Reports', Habba was asked about her thoughts and predictions regarding the ongoing legal battle surrounding Trump's alleged involvement in the hush money scandal.

In a surprising admission, the lawyer stated, "I don't have hopes really that high at this moment that the New York courts will do the right thing, that the jury will do the right thing."

Habba went on to explain her skepticism, citing New York's political leanings as a potential factor. "We're in a blue state, as you know, Greg. And I think everything's by design," she explained to the host.

"We're in a case that was eight years old, over the statute of limitations, was denied by [former Manhattan District Attorney] Cy Vance, then brought only after President Trump decided he was going to run for office."

Alina Habba raises concerns about Judge Juan Merchan's gag order

Habba also raised concerns about Judge Juan Merchan's gag order imposed on Trump and his legal team, aiming to prevent any attacks on witnesses or court personnel during the trial. "It's very troubling. We're in the fight of our lives at this moment," Habba remarked.

Trump faces 34 charges of falsifying business records to conceal payments aimed at silencing allegations of extramarital affairs, notably with adult film star Stormy Daniels, prior to the 2016 presidential election.

The trial, which commenced with jury selection concluding last week and opening arguments held on April 22, has garnered significant attention due to its high-profile nature.

Internet mocks Alina Habba following her candid admission about lack of confidence

Habba's candid admission about her lack of confidence in the legal proceedings did not go unnoticed by internet users, who wasted no opportunity to ridicule the lawyer. One X user suggested, "This may explain the new career training for her role as a celery and avocado cutter." Another quipped, "Yeah, she is using that one brain cell she has left."

A user chimed in, stating, "With lawyers like her, who can blame her for that opinion." Meanwhile, another commenter advised, "Maybe, just maybe, don’t say this about a client you’re currently defending."

One user joked, "That must be why she’s trying to get a start as a 'celebrity' chef. Her fancy lawyerin’ didn’t pan out." Another user commented, "If there was a picture next to the definition of 'dingbat' on Wikipedia, I'm pretty sure it would be of her!"

In a sarcastic tone, one user remarked, "She does chop celery. Not much of a fall back career." Another user wrote, "Well, she is one of the greatest legal minds of our lifetime."
