Trump attorney Alina Habba attacks Judge Merchan's 'family members' despite gag order

Raw Story  

Alina Habba, an attorney and adviser to Donald Trump, lashed out at the "family members" of Judge Juan Merchan despite a gag order in the New York hush-money case. As Trump was speaking in Washington D.C. for the first time since being re-elected, Habba launched an attack on Merchan's family during an appearance on Fox News Wednesday.

In August, an appeals court upheld Merchan's gag order, which was put in place after Trump attacked the judge's daughter.
