Trump Blasted Former Personal Lawyer Alina Habba Over Her $50Million Deal With Billionaire He Later Pardoned
Trump privately pressed allies to recoup part of a contract that guarantees Alina Habba more than $50 million, according to The New York Times.
- President Donald Trump "erupted" last week upon learning that former personal attorney Alina Habba Mildon secured a contract worth more than $50 million with a billionaire Venezuelan family.
- Habba was hired by the Herrera family while advising the Justice Department, just as Julio Herrera Velutini sought a presidential pardon; Trump later granted it within weeks.
- Under the four-year contract, Habba receives $10 million annually, prompting Trump to tell aides and allies she should donate a portion to his planned presidential library.
- Trump reportedly told the Herrera family to stop paying Habba and directed White House Counsel Will Scharf to investigate her involvement in an alleged pay-for-influence scandal.
- Habba denies wrongdoing, stating her employment was "vetted and disclosed to the D.O.J." as clemency lobbying reportedly emerged as lucrative during Trump's second term.
