Trump lawyer Alina Habba on New York fraud verdict: 'I don't have high hopes'
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4469618-trump-alina-habba-new-york-fraud-verdict/Trump attorney Alina Habba cast doubt on the outcome of the New York civil fraud trial against former President Trump, saying she thinks her client will be unhappy with the decision expected Friday.
“If I could file the appeal now, I would,” Habba said in a Newsmax interview Wednesday. “There’s no surprises coming here.”
“I’ll be loud and booming right after the decision,” she continued. “I don’t have high hopes.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) sued Trump in 2022, claiming the former president falsely altered his net worth on financial statements to receive tax and insurance benefits for the Trump Organization’s various assets. She has argued it is evidence of fraud, while Trump has maintained there was no fraud.

She might not have high hopes, but she might be high. Probably was during trial.

The number we kept hearing is $370 million, because it was the amount AG James' asked for. However the Judge can change it depending on other circumstances, such as Chump's behavior in court, his failure to obey the gag order, etc.
The big question is, why is anyone in the media talking to Alina Habba?
