Trump Proxy Alina Habba Worries Memorial Day Hangouts Will Corrupt Hush Money Jurors
HuffPost
Habba suggested jurors should have been sequestered so as not to be swayed by friends with "Trump derangement syndrome."
As Donald Trump’s hush money trial comes to a close, Alina Habba is fretting about how Memorial Day weekend might be an opportunity to sway jurors.
While appearing on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Habba, previously an attorney for Trump but now his legal spokesperson, told host Sean Duffy that jurors should have been sequestered in order to keep them away from “friends and families who have opinions.”
“These jurors are handling something that is completely unprecedented and unwarranted in America,” Habba said.
“And for them to be able to be out and about on a holiday weekend with friends and families who have opinions, who are watching the news, TVs on the background at the pool party, I have serious concerns,” she continued. “If they’re left-winging and they’re watching MSDNC — as my client calls it — or CNN, they’re not going to get fair news.”
The influence of left-leaning news was far from Habba’s only fear.
