The attorney for Donald Trump’s civil case in New York, Alina Habba, was furious with New York Attorney General Letitia James and let everybody know about it immediately after court adjourned on Tuesday. Habba claimed the former president’s sons Don Jr. and Eric were “brought in, away from their families, for doing nothing wrong.”
In her fiery address on the courthouse steps, Habba declared “We are now over a month deep into the biggest waste of New York taxpayer dollars I’ve ever seen. President Trump’s statement of financial condition was so undervalued, but Letitia James, as you’ve seen, will show up when it’s a press day.”
“I said it yesterday on the news, she hasn’t been here for days but you know when she’s gonna come? When the main event’s here and that is Trump,” she said. “She piggybacked on Trump to get into office. She didn’t do it well enough to be a governor. She was a failed gubernatorial candidate and now she’s working on her politics again.”
Habba referenced how horrible things currently are in New York City and claimed the attorney general “sits in the back when she should be doing real work because the city of New York has fallen apart.”
“If you are a business in New York, pay attention, you put your value — if President Trump wanted to inflate his net worth on a statement of financial condition, his brand alone could double triple it. It’s basic, it’s basic. This is a waste of time,” she said astonished that this case ever was considered.
“We heard testimony from an expert this week, Miss James wasn’t here for that day because it wasn’t good for her. He’s been paid by New York taxpayer dollars, $450,000 in the past few months to come here and testify,” Habba said. “That’s your money. That’s not my money. It is a crime.”
Trump’s attorney proclaimed that the Trump Organization is a “great company” and “it has always been a great company. It’s worth a lot more than the statements say and she just doesn’t like it. And now her politics don’t allow her to back off or back down. And it’s unfortunate, but this case should be done. We are wasting our time.”
