Trump lawyer attacks gag order in interview that touches on judge's law clerk

The muzzling is "one way."

Trump attorney Alina Habba appeared on Newsmax with host Kimberly Guilfoyle on Friday night crowing about how New York Attorney General Letitia James has slandered her client and his family while he has been forced to remain silent.

Guilfoyle insisted that Habba and her legal team are fighting an unfair fight in court because she cannot speak to scenarios such as when a clerk might be expressing an unbiased response such as rolling her eyes during critical testimony.

"I am not permitted to talk about the staff," Habba said. "I'm a spokeswoman. I'm a lawyer. I am an advocate and we will handle this like we handle everything else that would be appropriate; with vigor and we'll take appropriate measures that are in place that we hope will still be in place."

Just today, New York Judge Arthur Engoron even expanded the gag order the former president to also extend to his attorneys (which includes Habba).

The move came after the judge accused Trump attorney Christopher Kise of making another comment about his clerk.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has alleged in the trial that Trump and his two adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, systematically inflated the value of the Trump Organization, and even the square footage of their properties in order to fraudulently obtain better loans and deals

Habba continued to cast aspersions to what she says are disproportionate rules that are permitting the AG to be free to castigate Trump while he is essentially stripped of his first amendment speech.

"You know we are in a banana republic," she said. "We are in a situation right now where Letitia James is allowed to freely go out and rip whoever she wants to talk about before she even becomes the AG, before she has any knowledge of anything in the [Trump] Organization to call them criminals to call them frauds."

"But then, when she comes in, she can go out and talk to your about your fiancé and the Trump family and the president, a leading political candidate, say whatever she wants, and there is no gag order on her."

She also noted that the gag order is also not slapped on Jack Smith, the federal prosecutor who brought criminal charges against the 45th president for committing subversion to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

"There is no gag order on Jack Smith," she said. "The gag orders are one way and that is what we are seeing."

She is appalled by the lack of fairness and claims these kinds of tactics are the mechanisms used under iron fist ruling communist countries "when you want to silence your opponents."
