Trump’s lawyer plays down his criminal trial, says he doesn’t ‘have to prep much’ for his defence

Donald Trump’s Attorney, Alina Habba on Sunday said the cases against him do not require too much prep work, hence, his ability to juggle his campaign and at the same time, appear for his arraignment in court.

The Attorney was asked how the 77-year-old frontrunner for the Republican nomination was able to juggle his legal predicaments with his 2024 campaign.

“If it was a normal person, honestly, Shannon, I could understand the concern. President Trump is not your average person. He’s incredibly intelligent,” Habba told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream.

“He also knows the facts because he lived them. What is he going to have to be prepped for, the truth? You don’t have to prep much when you’ve done nothing wrong, so that I’m not concerned with.”

Bream had laid out a timeline of Trump’s various indictments and stressed that he could face up to 700 years behind bars if convicted on all 91-counts against him.

Habba, who doubles as a legal spokesperson for Trump and general counsel for the Trump-aligned Save America PAC, predicted that the crammed timeline will loosen up for the former president.

“These trial dates also are going to move. It’s unrealistic, it’s theatrics, and no judge is going to say that you can be on two trials at once in two different states because a lot of these overlap,” she stressed.

“They’re going to have to go into October, November of next year, again, by design,” Habba added, contending that she has “zero concerns” about Trump’s candidacy for the presidency.

Last Thursday, Trump was booked in the notoriously filthy and insect-ridden Fulton County Jail on the 13-count indictment against him over alleged 2020 election tampering in Georgia.

His campaign later touted a $7.1 million fundraising bonanza over the 48-hour period after that booking, which featured his scowl-faced mug shot.

In addition to the Fulton County indictment, he is facing a 34-count indictment out of Manhattan, a 40-count federal indictment for alleged hoarding of classified documents, and a four-count federal indictment for alleged 2020 election subversion.
