Trump lawyer Alina Habba applauds Judge Aileen Cannon for delaying classified documents case

Alina Habba, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, speaks outside at Manhattan criminal court during Trump’s trial in New York, on Monday, April 22, 2024. Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba praised U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for postponing the former president’s classified documents case indefinitely, saying she likes it when judges do “the right thing.”

“Obviously our team is strong there and they’re looking at this closely,” Ms. Habba, the Trump lawyer, said on Fox News Wednesday. “And Judge Cannon said, ‘Hold on. We’ve got a lot of other things to do before you even try and pressure me like you pressure many other judges into having these rush trials before the November election.’”Judge Cannon on Tuesday canceled the May 20 trial date and postponed it indefinitely. The decision comes as the judge deals with many pretrial issues.

Trump attorneys allege that Mr. Smith’s team “failed to maintain the integrity of the contents of certain boxes obtained at Mar-a-Lago.” In a footnote, he added that “the government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what government counsel previously understood and represented to the court.”“Let’s not forget what just came out here — we have found out that Jack Smith has his hand in the cookie jar,” she said. “He was intentionally taking evidence, not telling the court that he had basically taken classified document covers, put them on the wrong documents because they were sloppy.
