In a fiery defense of former President Donald Trump, his attorney Alina Habba has launched a scathing attack on the New York justice system and its handling of the controversial “hush money” case. Speaking with Newsmax TV’s Rob Schmitt, Habba didn’t hold back, accusing state officials and the Biden administration of a “coordinated effort” aimed at derailing Trump’s political influence.
Habba pointed fingers directly at U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, labeling him the mastermind behind what she sees as a politically motivated prosecution. According to her, Garland, alongside the Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, has revived a case against Trump that was previously dismissed by the federal Southern District of New York five years ago. She passionately argued that the resurrection of this case was timed with Trump’s political activities, suggesting a clear bias aimed at undermining his efforts.

“[Garland’s] the puppeteer, effectively, and so is the current president, or resident, as I call him, in the White House. Truly, there is obviously a coordinated effort. There’s no question about that,” Habba stated emphatically in her interview.
Highlighting the suspicious timing of the indictment, Habba underlined that the federal Southern District had previously found no grounds for charges against Trump. However, the narrative shifted dramatically once Trump announced his intention to run for office, raising questions about the motivations behind these legal actions.
The case, which is set to proceed in April, was described by Habba as a “disgrace” and indicative of New York’s decline, a state she once held in high regard. The situation is further complicated by the appointment of Matthew Colangelo, a former Biden Department of Justice official, as an assistant district attorney by Bragg. Habba sees this as evidence of an unacceptable collusion between state and federal levels, challenging the independence expected of state officials.
