Look who's moving on from the New York financial fraud case in New York:
Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba was taken off of her role defending the former president from the financial fraud lawsuit he faces from New York Attorney General Letitia James. Instead, Habba will now assume new duties with his Save America leadership PAC.
The PAC confirmed in a press release that Habba will act as their legal spokesperson and general counsel while assisting Trump with “certain legal matters.” To this end, the statement says Habba will withdraw from James case against the Trump Organization “and other cases” so she has time to serve as Trump’s “media representative on legal matters.”
“Alina has worked diligently and tirelessly on many of the witch-hunt cases that have been unfairly brought against President Trump,” said Trump communications director Steven Cheung.
“It is an honor to be asked by such a leader as President Trump to help Save America. Being able to devote more time to addressing publicly his many legal matters is the privilege of a lifetime,” Habba said in her own statement.
Habba recently told Fox that Trump was still grappling with the possibility that he could spend "decades in jail" after being hit with a federal indictment. She told Newsmax that Speaker Pelosi should be subpoenaed because she was the person who actually orchestrated the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol. She's also knee deep in the classified documents case.
I assume this latest moves means she'll go from supposedly representing Trump in the NY case to funneling campaign donations from his PAC to pay his legal bills.
