OOPS! Trump attorney undermines her client’s request for later trial dates
Maybe this is why this Trump attorney is representing him on right-wing media instead of in court.
Alina Habba, one of many attorneys on Donald Trump’s team (but not on the criminal case in question) has directly contradicted one of his claims from his many cases.
Contrary to what he claims, she doesn’t believe he’ll need much prep time at all for the criminal charges leveled against him.
There’s an important distinction here: she’s talking about his case in Georgia.
Trump has asked for two years of extra time for the federal case, but the two cases are closely related, both being about his alleged criminal efforts to alter the outcome of the 2020 election and rob voters of their choice.
Her declaration is also very broad and could apply equally to any of his cases, assuming, of course, that it’s taken as factual or representative of him.
Habba seemed, as always, to intend her off-the-cuff commentary as defense and praise of Trump, who she argues won’t have a problem juggling criminal cases with a presidential campaign, since all he has to do (she argues) is present the facts.
Still, when Trump’s legal team (that is, the attorneys who actually represent him in court) are arguing for loads of extra time, they may not appreciate her declaring that he doesn’t need any. She said:
“These are not complicated facts…It was a phone call…that he refers to as the ‘perfect phone call.’ What is he going to have to be prepped for, the truth? You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong. So that, I’m not concerned with. He knows the facts, he lived them.”
District Attorney Fani Willis may find the assertion more to her liking, though — she’s
already moved up the proposed trial date, from her original request of March 4, 2024, to October 23, 2023, in response to a request from one of Trump’s co-defendants, Kenneth Chesebro, for a speedy trial,
according to
CBS.
That date, of course, has not yet been formally approved, but if it was a ploy to separate the defendants into individual trials, she’s not playing ball — her proposal is for all 19 defendants, including Trump, to face trial in a few short months.
In claiming that Donald Trump needed no preparation time for his trials, Alina Habba just shot the legs out of his other attorneys' arguments.
