'I'm confident': Alina Habba says she expects Trump's $464M debt will be dismissed

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba is banking on the $464 million civil debt racked up in the New York fraud case being thrown out. "Despite the fact that witnesses frankly had said that they were great clients, we all made money, they did nothing wrong, we got slammed with this egregious number, and I'm confident we'll overturn it," she said during an interview with the online podcast X22 Report, which was reported by Newsweek. In the summer leading up to the trial, Judge Arthur Engoron determined that former President Donald Trump and his company had committed fraud for years while raising his real estate profile and making a successful bid for the White House. Habba, who spoke to the outlet before Trump's team admitted he can't find the cash to pay the damages, claims the amount is beyond reasoning and the trial was purely political.
