Trump lawyer Alina Habba blames mysterious 'demonic plan' for ex-president's court cases

Alina Habba told a group of nearly 90,000 prayer warriors Sunday that the many court cases of Donald Trump were the work of Satan, new video shows. “There’s God’s plan and then there’s the demonic plan,” Habba explained to Amanda Grace and 87,000 viewers of the online prophet’s YouTube show. “We need to fight these people that are obviously coordinated and are trying to have a crusade of election interference.” Habba is not leading the defense against charges in Trump's two criminal election interference cases — one filed in Georgia state court and another in Washington D.C. federal court — but she took center stage Tuesday in the New York City civil defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, the woman Trump has been found liable of sexually abusing. “Their demonic plan is so obvious.” The people Habba suggests are working in tandem include the Fulton County District Attorney’s office, the Justice Department, the New York District Attorney’s office, the Colorado Supreme Court, and Maine’s Secretary of State, as well as court workers in those states. “The more demonic, the more Trump derangement syndrome there is in this world,” said Habba, “the more support there is for the Trump family.” Habba “I definitely get the strength and grace from God to keep fighting even when I’m tired,” Habba said, “even when I’ve finished 11 weeks of trial on Letitia James.” For her part, Grace compared Trump’s legal woes to the plight of King David of Israel — as Ben Carson would do in a “flabbergasting” Fox News interview the following day — arguing both were persecuted because “the king of darkness was at work.” Grace, a self-described prophet, is one of many faith leaders who appeared at a far-right religious roadshow where QAnon conspiracies and unsubstantiated election theft claims were preached, the L.A. Times reported in October.
