Former President Donald Trump’s attorney recently Alina Habba claimed on Tuesday that the prospect of Trump going to jail is “not even something we think about” via Media Ite.
After Newsmax host Carl Higbie asked Habba whether Trump could end up in prison for violating one of the gag orders imposed on him, she replied:
“He’s protected by Secret Service, period. So, I always tell people when they’re panicked, “Listen, he’s protected by Secret Service, number one. Number two, he did nothing wrong.” So, when people go to jail it’s because they’ve done something wrong. Do we have crooked situations in and out of court? Absolutely. Could they try? Probably, but it won’t work because there is still trial process, there is still facts, and unfortunately they’re not going to win on the facts.
Secret Service will always protect President Trump. That’s the truth, they have to wherever he is, but it’s not even something we think about, to be honest, because this is all political. It’s really not— there’s no criminal acts that he’s done. There’s no civil wrongs that he’s done, unless making money for banks is a civil wrong all of a sudden.”
“Orange man bad,” responded Higbie, to which Habba said, “It’s Trump derangement syndrome at its best. I’m not worried about him, he’s not worried, and the American public shouldn’t be worried.”
Trump has been hit with gag orders in both his civil fraud case and his federal election obstruction case.
Trump was hit with a $10,000 fine last week for violating the gag order in his civil fraud case. Meanwhile, on Sunday, D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan reinstated a gag order prohibiting Trump from attacking court staffers and witnesses, prompting the former president to lash out against Chutkan on Truth Social.
“The Obama appointed Federal Judge in D.C, a TRUE TRUMP HATER, is incapable of giving me a fair trial,” he wrote. “Her Hatred of President DONALD J. TRUMP is so great that she has been diagnosed with a major, and incurable, case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!!”
