The lawyer who boasted she could “fake being smart” before earning client Donald Trump an $83.3 million defamation penalty is at the center of a new conspiracy theory, an Anti-Defamation League expert announced Wednesday.
“The ‘Alina Habba was a deep state plant to destroy Donald Trump’ theory has entered the building,” historian and right-wing extremism expert Mark Pitcavage wrote.
Pitcavage shared with his X followers a tweet from UltraMAGAGirl arguing Habba’s shaky defense in E. Jean Carroll’s New York City defamation trial was purposefully incompetent.

“I DONT [sic] TRUST ALINA HABBA!!” UltraMAGAGirl writes. “I believe she is deep state plant.”
The MAGA fan’s comment arrived on the heels of Trump’s announcement that he was seeking new attorneys to pursue an appeal in the case.
It also comes as Habba faces a threat of sanctions from Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan, over a letter in which Habba confusingly bolded the statute that appears to disprove her own alleged ethics violation.
UltraMAGAGirl’s theory raised questions for X user Debbie Hemenway, who wanted to know, “Has anyone ever seen Habba and Taylor Swift in the same room at the same time? Hmmm?”
The pop star is also at the center of a far-right conspiracy theory that argues the Super Bowl will be rigged so she can endorse President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
X user @CLSRoach argued the MAGA girl’s theory had a serious flaw.
“‘Our guy hires incompetent people ALL the time’ isn’t the flex they think it is,” she wrote.
“I wonder who forced Trump to hire Alina Habba,” replied @narcissistchro1. “For the guy who's going to save us from the deep state, he sure gets fooled by the deep state a lot.”
The comment actually did raise a serious concern for Nancy Orsolini, which Pitcavage was happy to address.
“They don’t give him any credit at all,” Orsolini said. “It’s these other entities who are preventing him from seeking and ultimately having, good solid counsel.”
“It's a psychological reaction,” Pitcavage replied. “Many Russians thought that about Stalin; many early Americans thought that about King George III.”
The psychological reaction has been shared by several social media users.
“Alina Habba is a deep state plant,” Louis Cyphre wrote on Jan. 28. “She tanked Trump’s defense on purpose.”
“You are a deep state plant,” wrote Mike Brady, responding to one of Habba’s own posts. "You clown."
