Ty Cobb, a former White House legal professional to Donald Trump, on Wednesday gave a brief but stinging abstract of present Trump legal professional Alina Habba.
Last yr, a jury discovered Trump accountable for defamation and sexual abuse after Carroll accused him of raping her within the Nineteen Nineties. He was ordered to pay $5 million in damages.
Trump this week wrote on his Truth Social platform that he’s in search of new authorized illustration as he appears to attraction the $83.3 million verdict.
CNN’s Erin Burnett requested Cobb how he thought Habba dealt with Trump’s case.
“I think she’s handled it in the mafia way,” Cobb replied.
Habba had finished Trump’s bidding, he continued. “She’s articulated his political narrative of victimization and unfairness in the judicial system and made some outlandish claims […] and she lost.”
“So, she is a loser,” he added. “I’m not surprised that Trump is looking for appellate representation.”
