Trump criticizes ex‑lawyer Alina Habba Mildon's $50M deal

newsNov 1, 202616199

At a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump publicly rebuked his former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon, calling her reported $50 million contract to help secure a presidential pardon “totally obnoxious and outrageous” and “not acceptable.” The contract, reported by The New York Times and described to reporters by Trump, allegedly guaranteed Habba $10 million a year for four years plus bonuses and began in January, weeks before Trump granted a full pardon to Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini for misdemeanor campaign finance violations. Trump told reporters he told Habba he did not want her paid and denied that he personally asked her to donate part of the money, though he acknowledged telling aides he expected “many people” to make contributions to his projects. The Hill notes Herrera founded Bancrédito International Bank & Trust and faced 2022 charges including conspiracy, bribery and fraud. Trump said Habba “used her relationship” to press the family and called the size of the payment “far too much.”

The most corrupt treasonous grifting presidential administration EVER.

Why in the name of god did these people hire the worst lawyer in the country and pay her 10 freaking million a year!?

Felony bribery charge → misdemeanour → $50m deal for Trump's lawyer inside the DOJ → pardon two weeks later.

Quoting this

I love that these people have no self awareness to the point that they don't realize that they are all frauds and con artists.

Alina Habba got a $50 million contract from a Venezuelan billionaire's family right before one of them got clemency. Wolff says the looting speeds up as the end gets close. Every day these rats keep power is another day they strip the copper out of the walls.

The DOJ knows that Alina Habba took a $50 million bribe for a pardon deal? They could charge her but apparently law & order is no longer their mission, now that they are busy weaponizing partisan politics for Trump.

Trumpy furious Alina Habba made a $50M deal for herself and she had the audacity of not sharing with him. He wants his cut. Crime boss wants revenge. What will he do to her? Trumpy only cares about his money, or money he thinks he's entitled to. The fat shitweasel only cares about his money.

They all get to the end of the conveyor belt, sooner or later. Scaramucci is one of the few who realized what it was and got off in time. Everyone else, not so much.

Trump on Alina Habba's $50 million deal: “I thought it was totally obnoxious and outrageous, and it’s not acceptable. Not acceptable at all.” The New York Times reported that Trump wanted Habba to "donate" part of the money to his presidential library. * Translation: ...he didn't get his cut

And didn’t one of the attorneys (Alina Habba) in his previous rape trial of E Jean Carroll just get a $50M contract by a Trump donor looking for a Pardon? That was in fact signed?
