Alina Habba Roasted For Her Dishonest 'Crying' About Trump Trial On Fox News
HuffPost
Donald Trump's attorney gave a false account of events to viewers of the conservative network.
Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba was criticized on social media after she made misleading complaints on Fox News about the first day of her client’s hush money trial.
“You’re not even allowing a father — never mind a former president — but a father attend his son’s graduation?” Habba griped on “Hannity” Monday, following day one of jury selection for Trump’s criminal trial in New York.
“And let’s not forget Passover. OK?” she continued. “Observing Jews have a right to go and pray to who they want and observe Passover, and this judge would not allow it.”
“Not for any of the attorneys, and there are observant Jewish attorneys on the Trump team and as well on the DA team,” she added.
However, the complaints are not true. Trump could still be allowed to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation. Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, did not rule on whether Trump could attend the May 17 event, saying he would have to see how the trial is tracking.
