Alina Habba isn’t shying away from Donald Trump’s legal issues, although she doesn’t really have a choice being one of his top attorneys. Still, Habba has made some questionable decisions since defending the former president in court for his civil fraud case. In November 2023, Trump appeared in court and his behavior could have been described as a political rally with him going off on tangents, per Newsweek. At one point, it got so bad that Engoron asked his lawyers to keep him in line. That’s when Habba reportedly responded to the judge saying that he is “here to hear what he [Trump] has to say.” Judge Engoron quickly put Habba in line, telling her to sit down and saying, “I’m not here to hear what he has to say. He’s here to answer questions.”
Well, this didn’t go over well with Habba. When speaking to the press, she shared, “I was told to sit down today, I was yelled at, and I’ve had a judge who was unhinged slamming a table. Let me be very clear, I don’t tolerate that in my life, I’m not going to tolerate it here.”

Judge Engoron hasn’t been the only one at the other end of Habba’s criticism. The attorney also shared harsh words toward New York Attorney General Letitia James and said that she’s “just not that bright,” per The Hill. So no matter who it is, Habba is going to defend Trump to the very end.
