Ex-Trump lawyer predicts 'extreme danger' ahead for Alina Habba's career

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's current attorney, Alina Habba, isn't fully up to the job, according to the former president's old White House lawyer. Ty Cobb, who earlier on Saturday tried to explain what is going through Trump's head as he faces an evolving legal "battlefield," appeared on MSNBC's Alex Witt Reports. "She had great difficulty in the E. Jean Carroll case, getting simple documents into evidence, getting questions asked and answered, notwithstanding the efforts to assist her by the judge." At the same time, Cobb noted, "I think it is also important to understand that I don't think the president expected to win either of those cases."
