Alina Habba, the legal spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, has expressed confidence in Trump's ability to handle his upcoming trials without extensive preparation.
During a recent interview on Fox News, Habba was questioned about how Trump, aged 77, is managing his legal issues while simultaneously campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Responding to the host, Shannon Bream, Habba stated, "President Trump is not your average person. Hes incredibly intelligent. He also knows the facts because he lived them. What is he going to have to be prepped for, the truth? You dont have to prep much when youve done nothing wrong, so that Im not concerned with.
Bream had previously outlined a timeline of Trump's numerous indictments, highlighting the possibility of him facing up to 700 years in prison if convicted on all 91 counts against him. Habba, who also serves as the general counsel for the Trump-aligned Save America PAC, anticipates that the packed timeline will be adjusted to accommodate the former President.
Habba argued, "These trial dates also are going to move. Its unrealistic, its theatrics, and no judge is going to say that you can be on two trials at once in two different states because a lot of these overlap." She further suggested that the trials would likely extend into October or November of the following year. Habba also expressed "zero concerns" about Trump's presidential candidacy.
Last week, Trump was detained in the notoriously unsanitary Fulton County Jail on a 13-count indictment over alleged 2020 election tampering in Georgia. His campaign subsequently reported a $7.1 million fundraising surge in the 48 hours following his booking.
In addition to the Fulton County indictment, Trump is also facing a 34-count indictment in Manhattan, a 40-count federal indictment for alleged hoarding of classified documents, and a four-count federal indictment for alleged 2020 election subversion. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
The former President has pleaded not guilty to both federal indictments and the one brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the Fulton County indictment next month.
