Trump attorney Alina Habba
Trump attorney Alina Habba is a rising star in the legal world, representing the former president in his civil fraud trial in New York. Habba, who is also a senior advisor for Trump’s Super PAC, has been by his side in the courtroom, defending him against the allegations of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
James accuses Trump and his company of inflating the value of his assets to secure loans and insurance coverage, and deflating them to reduce taxes. She is seeking $250 million in damages and restitution, as well as a ban on Trump doing business in New York.
Alina Habba, who is 39 years old, is an Assyrian-American lawyer and managing partner of Habba, Madaio & Associates LLP, a legal firm based in Bedminster, New Jersey with offices in New York City. She graduated from Lehigh University and Widener Commonwealth Law School, and has experience in various legal fields, including real estate, consumer protection, and class action lawsuits.
Alina Habba has denied that Trump committed any fraud, and has argued that the case is politically motivated and an attempt to interfere with his presidential campaign. She has also disputed the judge’s decision to deny Trump a jury trial, saying that it was not her fault and that the law did not allow for it.
Habba has been praised by Trump for her loyalty and competence, and has been seen with him at various events, such as the LIV Golf Invitational at Trump National Golf Club. She has also faced criticism and scrutiny from the media and the public, especially regarding her personal life and her relationship with Trump.
Habba was previously married to Matthew Eyet, a lawyer and former partner at her previous firm, Sandelands Eyet LLP. They divorced in 2019 and have two children. She married Gregg Reuben, a real estate developer, in 2020. Habba has said that she is not romantically involved with Trump, and that he respects her marriage.
Habba is one of the few lawyers who have remained loyal to Trump after he left office, as many of his former attorneys have distanced themselves from him or faced legal troubles of their own. Alina Habba has said that she believes in Trump’s innocence and his vision for America, and that she will fight for him until the end.
