Alina Habba

District Attorney Alvin Bragg is learning how to prosecute Donald Trump on criminal charges by watching successful civil cases that have slammed the former president with hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties, legal experts said Monday.

Former federal prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Joyce Vance appeared on Lawrence O'Donnell's MSNBC show Monday night to discuss the looming hush money case in New York City.

Pointing to his “long history of making public and inflammatory remarks” about his legal cases, New York prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money criminal case asked Monday for a gag order to be imposed on the former president.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has requested that Trump be barred from making statements about potential witnesses, prospective jurors and prosectors related to the case, the Associated Press reported.

Newsmax host Lidia Bastianich asked Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, if President Joe Biden could be sued after Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant.

"We saw what happened with that Venezuelan illegal alien who is now accused of killing that nursing student, Laken Riley," Bastianich told Habba during a Sunday interview. "Now he's accused of killing this beautiful young girl, 22 years old, prime of her life. Does Joe Biden have blood on his hands at this point, Alina?"

The entire panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" had a good laugh on Saturday morning over comments Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba made about fighting the massive financial fraud penalty her client was saddled with which has now surpassed $454 million.

During a panel discussion with former DOJ official Mary McCord on how quickly the embattled former president needs to come up with cash for an appeals bond, co-host Michael Steele cited an interview Habba gave to "The Hill" where she called Trump "one of the smartest businessmen, one of the greatest president we have ever seen."

Singling out Habba also claiming, "If she [New York AG Letitia James] thinks she is going to take him down. If that was her goal, which we all know very well it was and she got a strong assist there in court. But I will tell you this, that goal will not be successful and that is the message I can give to everyone listening here. It will not be successful,” Steele joked, "She got paid extra to say that."

He continued, "So, in what part of this process does the court call BS? That is, essentially, where we are."

"I think that is kind of what Judge [Arthur] Engoron did yesterday when he rejected the request to stay this judgment for 30 days," McCord replied. "And he's like, you haven't given me any good reason, take it up with a court of appeals if you want to take it up, right?"

"Again, if they post the bond and appeal it will be stayed pending that, they just need to take those steps," she added.

The official filing, titled "JUDGMENT - MONEY," also starts the clock on the 9 percent per annum interest Trump must pay on the judgment, the Attorney General's office told the New York Daily News.
