Fox News Anchor Asks Trump Attorney Alina Habba About Saying ‘I Don’t Have Hopes’ Trump Will Win At Trial

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith asked Trump attorney Alina Habba to explain her pessimism about ex-President Donald Trump prevailing in the hush money trial.

In an interview with Newsmax this week, Habba said “I don’t have hopes really that high at this moment that the New York courts will do the right thing, that the jury will do the right thing.”

On Friday afternoon’s edition of Fox News Channel’s America Reports, Smith asked about that interview, and asked “Have you changed your thinking on that at all?”:

SANDRA SMITH: Alina Habba is former President Donald Trump’s legal spokeswoman and the general counsel for the Save America PAC. She joins us now. Alina, thank you very much for joining us.

ALINA HABBA: My pleasure. Thanks for having me.

SANDRA SMITH: I know just a couple days ago, as this was going on, you suggested you were not optimistic that the that the the jurors and the judge in this trial will do the right thing. Have you changed your thinking on that at all?

ALINA HABBA: If this was based on facts and what actually happened, my comments would be different. The realisticness of what happens in New York courts when your name is Donald Trump and you’re the leading candidate for the GOP, is is is incredibly different.

And for people to say that’s not the case is just denial of what’s actually happened to the American justice system. We have a serious problem. We have a problem where there’s a vitriol, there’s a Trump Derangement syndrome, and it’s blinding lawyers, it’s blinding jurors, and it’s affecting judges.

Their Soros backing and political affiliations should have no part in the court. But I’ve seen time and time again that it does. So, you know my comment while the left wing media would like to take it out of context, it is the truth, which is that President Trump has done absolutely nothing wrong.

He should win. And if he’s given a fair jury, if he’s given a fair court, if he’s not in Manhattan, which is a completely blue state where they only polled blue state members of the jury on purpose, well, that’s a different game.

But to say that, you know, if I said here that I think everything’s perfect, well, I’d be completely hypocritical. As I’ve said for the last three years, this is a witch hunt. The president is under siege. The American people are under siege. And if we don’t change the judicial system, if we don’t get rid of this lawfare in place of politics, the American people are going to suffer.
