Alina Habba, attorney to former President Trump, mocked New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) after an appeals court significantly reduced the
cost of a bond he must pay while he appeals his multimillion-dollar civil
fraud penalty.
Habba appeared on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” Monday evening,
when the host asked her about the court’s decision to lower Trump’s $464 million bond to $175 million.
“We won,” she said. “You know, no — we didn’t win. You know when we’ll
win? When we get this all reversed, which is what’s gonna happen.”
Habba criticized James and Judge Arthur Engoron, who originally ordered
Trump to pay $355 million before interest, ruling the former president conspired to lie about his net worth to receive favorable treatment from
banks and insurers. The judge also ordered Trump to pay prejudgment
interest, with the figure accruing based on the date of each transaction
in the case. The amount owed rose by $112,000 each day in additional
interest, bringing it up to $464 million by the time the appeals court
ruled to lower his bond.
“So, what happened today, was that Letitia had to eat every single tweet
she has posted since the day the twisted order from Judge Engoron came out
with the ridiculous number with the disgusting injustice on the American people, not just Donald Trump,” Habba said.
Habba said she “would love to see” what James posted online after the
court’s decision because she was “having fun” posting about the daily
interest added to Trump’s penalty.
Trump and his lawyers attempted to get a bond covering the staggering sum
but were unable to do so before the Monday deadline. A five-judge appeals
panel paused the enforcement of the judgment, so long as Trump pay the significantly lower bond within 10 days.
James, who brought forth the original civil fraud case against Trump, said
in the past that if he were unable to meet the Monday deadline for the
penalty, she may begin seizing his assets.
Trump’s attorney said she was “so proud” of the appeals court because the decision gave her “a little bit of faith” in the justice system. She
continued, criticizing James and others who were excited to see the former president approach the deadline with no ability to pay the sum.
“I hope she took a little piece of humble pie today, because that’s what
was served to her,” Habba said. “Just a little, but we’ll be … serving a
lot more of that in the next couple of years.”
