Trump lawyer Alina Habba bragged on stage at the rihgt wing America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona, on Dec. 17 that she was sanctioned nearly $1 million by U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks for filing a “frivilous” lawsuit on behalf of former President Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton, FBI and Justice Department officials such as former FBI Director James Comey.
Middlebrooks said in September 2023 that the lawsuit was “seeking to flaunt a two-hundred-page political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him,” reported CNBC.
Habba played the victim and blamed the media, notes Salon:
“What do you think happened? Nobody’s heard of the case, right?” Habba asked the crowd. “It’s ’cause it’s gone. I never met the judge. I never walked into the courtroom.”
“It got dismissed, and me and President Trump got sanctioned a million dollars for going against crooked Hillary,” Habba said, punctuating her claim with shakes of her right hand.
Someone yelled, “What?” in apparent shock from the crowd, and Habba continued.
“You didn’t know that, did you?” Habba replied. “Fake news, folks. Fake news. They won’t report it.
“But guess what? We paid that million and we’re gonna keep on fighting.”
