'The judge blamed you': Fox News host turns tables on Alina Habba over Stormy Daniels

Fox News host Bill Hemmer confronted Alina Habba, Donald Trump's attorney, after a New York judge blamed the former president's legal team for not objecting enough during the trial.

During a Wednesday interview on Fox News, co-host Dana Perino noted that New York Justice Juan Merchan agreed that some of Stormy Daniels' testimony went too far in Trump's hush money case. Daniels testified about her alleged affair with the former president.

"Yeah, this is the problem here," said Habba, Trump's former lawyer who is now a spokesperson. "And the judge did try and put guardrails with the prosecution and say that these are the guardrails."

"This is about somebody in Trump Tower who registered a legal fee as a legal fee payment," she continued. "That's what this case is about. Where was President Trump? In the White House."

"And they're trying to now make this a very salacious, you know, it's a complete extortion situation."

Habba asserted that the New York County District Attorney's Office "completely disregarded the guardrails, didn't care."

"You can't unring the bell," she opined. "We're human beings. If somebody tells you, pretend I didn't just say that, OK, you're not going to. There's no wipe-out eraser in your mind that says, OK, I now have unheard that."

"There needs to be a remedy when people disregard the parameters," the attorney said.

"But the judge blamed you," Hemmer replied, pointing out that the defense team had declined to object to Daniels' testimony.

"Well, not me, but I'm not on the case," Habba quickly replied. "The judge blamed Trump's attorneys."

"The judge said in the courtroom that these are the parameters," she recalled. "They thought the judge would enforce those parameters, said to control it. So they stepped back."

Habba went on to call her profession "an art."

"It's not a science," she explained. "When you're in a courtroom, no matter what the reporters are saying, you have to understand that as an attorney, it's a craft."

"If you constantly object and a judge is constantly saying you're overruled, how does that make you look to a jury?" Habba noted.
