'He wasn’t tough enough?' Trump attorney Alina Habba stunned by Biden's big regret

Alina Habba, President-elect Donald Trump's nomination to serve as counselor to the president, took issue Monday with the current president's gripe that he made a mistake choosing Merrick Garland for attorney general.

President Joe Biden reportedly regrets pulling out of the presidential race and nominating Garland for the nation's top law enforcement official, complaining that Garland didn't move fast enough to prosecute Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, and aggressively prosecuting Hunter Biden.

Habba appeared to be in disbelief by the report in an interview Monday, according to The Independent.

"He wasn’t tough enough?" she asked on Fox News, referring to Garland. "Was it not tough enough when we spent 3 1/2 years with indictments, shams and hoaxes with cases?”

"He had it rough. He had it so rough," she said, this time referring to Trump. "But he came out on top because America saw what they did."

Habba said Garland “should be ashamed of himself” for pursuing the case against her boss.

"It wasn’t just about President Trump. It was about our Constitution. It was about the foundation of this country. And they wanted to turn us into a third-world country. And they failed," said Habba.

Habba, 40, represented Trump in several high-profile legal cases, including his civil fraud trial in New York and the defamation case involving E. Jean Carroll.
