Alina Habba, former President Donald Trump’s civil lawyer, slammed the judge in his New York hush money trial. She rebuked the judge for implying that Trump might miss his youngest son’s high school graduation and for not postponing the proceedings on Passover.
“You’re not even allowing a father — never mind a former president — but a father [to] attend his son’s graduation,” Habba said to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, following the first day of jury selection in the former president’s criminal trial.
“And let’s not forget Passover, OK?” the attorney — who made headlines as a member of Trump’s defense team in his civil fraud trial and in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit — continued.
“Observant 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,” Habba said of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan.
“And there are observant Jewish attorneys on the Trump team as well [as] on the DA team,” she noted. “It’s just a sad state of affairs for the American people, I could tell you that.”
