'The mafia way': Ex-Trump lawyer explains Alina Habba's handling of E. Jean Carroll case

Working for The Don means doing his bidding.

That is how Ty Cobb, former President Donald Trump's attorney during the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation, described his former client.

"I think she's handled [the case] in the mafia way," he said during an appearance on CNN's "Out Front" with Erin Burnett. "She has done his bidding."

"She portrayed his narrative of victimization and made outlandish claims and she lost. So she is a loser."

Habba and Trump have vowed he would appeal the jury's award for columnist E. Jean Carroll of $83.3 million for defamation after she came forward to accuse him of sexually abusing her inside of a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room back in the mid-1990s.

Habba has also been defending Trump in the $370 million civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James that threatens to ban the real estate tycoon from being able to do business in the state. On Friday, Habba tweeted, "This is far from over. We are just getting started. #MAGA #TrumpDerangementSyndrome"

On Tuesday Trump announced on Truth Social that he was shopping for an appellate attorney to help him beat back the whopping sum.

Raw Story's attempts to reach Habba were not immediately returned.

Cobb said Trump's public announcement he was searching for another esquire was predictable.

"I'm not surprised that Trump is looking for appellate representation," he said.
