Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba took to Fox News on Monday to complain about the more than $350 million civil judgment issued against her client in the New York civil fraud case — and suggested that President Joe Biden's embattled son Hunter has been ignored by prosecutors while all this was going on.

Judge Engoron kept a back-up plan to keep Trump from any 'funny business': ex-prosecutor

Donald Trump may be on an invisible leash.

The former president was recently hit with an order requiring him to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for fraud in New York state.

'Impossible to see how Trump survives financially' as criminal trials begin: lawyer

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner stated that as bad as Friday was for Donald Trump, in light of being fined upwards of $450 million for financial fraud in a Manhattan courtroom, things are about to get much, much worse.

Noting the millions the former president has been ordered to pay New York writer E. Jean Carroll from two different civil suits, Kirschner pointed to the Trump hush money trial in March and multiple other criminal trials in Trump's future.

"Let's start with the ruling from Justice Arthur Engoron, what are your two top line takeaways?" host Phang asked.

"Well, Katie, among the top line takeaways is, I think we have to look at the trajectory that Donald Trump's civil trials have been on," he replied. "He started by losing a $5 million judgment, then he lost an $83 million judgment. Now he's lost more than $450 million judgment and, as you say, he is barred from doing business in New York for a number of years."

"Here is the thing," he elaborated. "As bad as all of that is, Lady Justice is just getting warmed up because next up for Donald Trump is his first criminal trial, then he has four criminal trials stacked up."

"It is impossible to see how he survives politically, how he survives financially and I think you know all of this is just Donald Trump slowly being taken out of the system for the civil fraud, the civil wrongs, and the crimes he has alleged to have committed."

Trump and sons could be headed for IRS trouble after massive fraud ruling: ex-prosecutor

Appearing on MSNBC on the morning after Donald Trump, his two sons and the Trump Organization were slammed by Judge Arthur Engoron with a financial fraud penalty that could exceed $450 million, one ex-prosecutor suggested the IRS and the DOJ could be waiting in the wings.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, legal analyst Catherine Christian acknowledged that New York Attorney General Letitia James had indicated she would be passing on some of her findings that led to the former president's conviction to the Department of Justice.

She added that Trump and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric may also be hearing from the IRS.

"What is the potential culpability beyond this trial? Is there something beyond this for Donald Trump?" host Velshi asked.

"If now the federal government, the Southern District of New York sort of passed on this publicly, but that does not mean that they can't, as long as it's within the statute of limitations take another look," she replied.

"And clearly, the federal government, the Internal Revenue Service, they sort of never stop looking at you, and so yes, the AG's office referred to it to other authorities, and it could be possible that each of the defendants, not just Donald Trump, his sons, [Allen] Weisselberg could be in legal jeopardy, even criminal jeopardy."
