Alina Habba Mildon Reportedly Loses $50 Million Contract That Trump Condemned as ‘Outrageous’

The contract loss leaves her with $6.5 million already paid and an $8 million signing bonus, while an ethics complaint threatens her law license.

  • Concord Partners terminated former Trump lawyer Alina Habba Mildon on Nov. 4, citing a "failure to perform duties," The New York Times reported Tuesday. The firing ends her role under a special government employee arrangement.
  • President Trump blasted the arrangement as "totally obnoxious and outrageous" after The New York Times revealed the deal last month. He pressed the Herrera family to stop paying her, citing professional concerns.
  • Habba Mildon forfeits most of a four-year, $10 million-a-year contract but retains $6.5 million already collected and an $8 million signing bonus. She intends to take legal action against the firm.
  • Concord was founded by Isabela Herrera, daughter of Venezuelan banking magnate Julio Herrera Velutini whom Trump pardoned. The firm poured $3.5 million into a pro-Trump PAC, intensifying scrutiny around Habba's employment.
  • Habba has insisted she played no role in the pardon, stating, "Any insinuation that my employment...had anything to do with securing a pardon is false." She continues to deny conflict-of-interest allegations.
