Alina Habba, former President Donald Trump’s attorney in the New York civil fraud case, announced her intentions to file for a mistrial “very soon” over the weekend while demanding New York Attorney General Letitia James to dismiss the case.
Habba explained during an interview on Fox News that, although she will file for a retrial imminently, the motion will depend on the same far-left judge, Arthur Engoron, who issued a gag order on the 45th President.
“The problem is, with all of these things, such as filing a motion for recusal, which we have done twice, is that the judge has to be the one that decides, is he going to recuse himself? Does he feel that there was a mistrial,” Habba explained.
“It’s a bench trial. We have one judge. And it’s the same judge that issued the gag order that has to make those determinations. So, at this point, I don’t have any reason to believe he shouldn’t after what we have learned, if it’s true,” she added.
Trump’s legal team is set to begin its defense on Monday in the Big Apple, where the former President faces a $250 million lawsuit brought by the city’s vengeful far-left Attorney General James.
