Trump ally Alina Habba Mildon faces New Jersey attorney ethics complaint
The ethics office said she was not neutral and could face penalties from admonition to disbarment after a hearing.
- On Tuesday, the New Jersey Office of Attorney Ethics recommended disciplinary action against Alina Habba Mildon for her role in a 2021 sexual harassment settlement at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
- In August 2021, Mildon—then a club member—helped broker a $15,000 settlement for server Alice Bianco, a 21-year-old who alleged sexual harassment on terms the complaint describes as "favorable to the golf club."
- Ethics officials allege Mildon engaged in a conflict of interest, creating "divided loyalties" as a dues-paying member while inducing Bianco to sign a nondisclosure agreement the office notes is illegal.
- The case now moves to a hearing before a special ethics adjudicator, with potential penalties ranging from admonition to disbarment, though Mildon's attorney Kim Ringler described the complaint as "the first step."
- Attorney Nancy Erika Smith, who later won a $400,000 settlement for Bianco, has called for Mildon's disbarment, while the ethics office also cited recordkeeping violations uncovered during a three-year inquiry.
