Today we have a new guest, Alina Haba. Alina is the general counsel and legal spokesman for Save America. She’s President Trump’s attorney. And I am very happy and honored to have Alina on the X 22 report spotlight. Alina, welcome to the spotlight. Thank you, Dave. I’m happy to be on finally. Yes, I just wanted to start off, and I think a lot of people probably don’t realize how you became Trump’s attorney.
So how did you actually become Trump’s attorney? Yeah, I’m a member at his club in Bedminster, and I was a member there for some time before I met him. Actually, I have other clients that are members at the club and how anybody gets an attorney, right? You’re recommended for a job and they’re talking, they’re golfing and all of a the, I believe it was the GM or somebody asked me for my business card and I got a phone call one day and it was from President Trump asking to effectively interview me.
And I interviewed with him, I interviewed with his son and with the general counsel of the Trump Organization, and they gave me one case, I knocked it out of the park and resolved it after a couple of months, and it had been ongoing for five. Then, you know, another case, another case, and here we are. That’s, that’s fantastic. I just want to go to what happened with. I mean, she’s been going after Trump from the very beginning.
She campaigned on, I’m going to get Trump, and she really didn’t come up with anything. She decided to run for governor. That didn’t work out too well. And then as soon as Trump decided to announce that he was running for the presidential campaign, all of a sudden she came out with this charge of fraud when there really wasn’t any type of fraud. What do you think the trial was really about? Well, the trial was predetermined before we even walked in there.
We had lost on summary judgment. He had found us guilty of one count of the six, pretty much identical counts. So it was a damages trial. And of course, the left wants to paint it as this massive loss. The reality is she had it in the bag. We had a judge that was definitely partial to her side, that had been clear for years while we had been in the special proceeding, and they were doing their multiple year investigation.
Then all of a sudden, the complaint gets filed. We’re rushed to trial in six months. And despite the fact that witnesses, frankly, had said that they were great clients, we all made money, they did nothing wrong. Zurich still works with the, you know, we got slammed with this egregious number, and I’m confident we’ll overturn it. But there’s no question, Dave, this was political. It’s not even from the beginning.
It’s before the beginning. It’s before she got into office. She said she was going to do this. She ran on getting Trump. She said she was going to go into Trump Tower every day, go to work, go ahead, Trump Tower, and come out. That is political prosecution. There is no place in that. That’s selective prosecution. It should not know. As I’ve always said, I think with these cases, it’s going to be a long game, not a short game, but that court and what happened in there was crazy.
The gag orders, it was eleven, almost twelve weeks of insanity. There was a point where you keep saying that the judge was editing your questions. I guess he asked for questions and he was editing your question. What did he actually edit? What did he do? Yeah, that was in the Carol case, actually. Oh, I’m sorry. That’s the Carol case. Okay. That’s okay. It’s all the same, really. I mean, it’s New York judges and they’ve been all kind of chaotic.
Yeah. In that case, we were in front of a different judge and we were asked, I was asked before President Trump took the stand to give the judge in an open forum with the press in the room exactly what the questions were that I was going to ask him. And the judge edited the questions and then asked me what the president’s responses were going to be. And my response was, I don’t have a golden ball.
I don’t know. I can’t tell you what his responses are going to be. I can assume that it’s going to be XYZ. And the judge said, no, you will not ask that question. Next question. No, I don’t want you to ask it that way. I want you to ask it this way. The good news on that is that’s going to be serious grounds on appeal, reversal, all those things that we’re looking at, but you can’t make up the craziness that I’ve seen.
I mean, at one point, they tried to put me in jail for objecting to an evidentiary issue in that case. So it’s been really crazy. I mean, is it normal to ask for questions ahead of time and is it normal to get the answers? No, not at all. Not at all. There are certain times when you have a volatile situation where you might need to do that. But I informed the judge, I have three questions.
And it was very basic. It was very simple. It just went to the heart of one of the issues that they have to prove, which is that he intended to hurt this person. And the judge would not allow me to ask that, which is an essential element of the case that they had to prove. So effectively. He took away my ability to show a jury that he had no intent to hurt her.
And we lost. And it was all, look, that judge, the clerk worked for the clerk. His old clerk was on the opposing counsel side, so she was his law clerk, and now she’s working for Robbie Kaplan. Robbie Kaplan worked in the same firm as the can’t. If you wanted to create a more crazy story, I don’t think you could. The script speaks for itself. Let me ask you, with Letitia James, and I think it was Judge Kaplan and Judge N’Goren, do you think they had any contact with the Biden administration? Is there any evidence that they were working with them? Yes.
During the trial, we found out that Miss James had visited the White House, had visited with Kamala Harris as well. We had the visitor logs came out and there was a report done by somebody in the news that there was visits with the administration. So. Right. There, isn’t that grounds for, like, a mistrial or something? Like a RICO case? Right. The cases that they say that we do, like the old mafia type of scenario where everybody’s coordinating and election interference, Dave, that’s what it is.
It’s them unable to beat President Trump and his race to the White House, and they’re using political lawfare at this moment to try and take him down because they have, frankly, no other options. I mean, we’ve got a president that can’t walk. He clearly suffers from some sort of medical illness, dementia, whatever it is. Everybody has their speculations, but it’s very clear he cannot even get through a speech.
So they’re going to take the republican candidate, the nominee now, tie him up in litigation, coordinate it amongst AGs and Das. That’s really no different than what you see in Cuba. That’s no different than what you see in Russia, where you aim at your political opponent or anybody that speaks out against you, if anything. I think, though, the good news is, if you look at the polls, it’s charging the country up, it’s making people rally behind him.
And people that never would have voted for Trump are going to. Because they’re afraid that we’re going to be in the same situation. No, I think it’s very clear that you have to be pretty much asleep if you don’t see it, that there is election interference and they’re just coming at him very, very hard. So, for the case with Letitia James, we know that $350,000,000 plus Letitia is adding on interest every day.
I think she’s posting it on her Twitter account, which is absolutely ridiculous. How does. Yeah, it really is. How does Trump win this case? I mean, under New York law, doesn’t he have to post the amount or bond before he can appeal? Yeah, you have to post a bond to appeal. And the bond has its own interests and things like that. It’s insanity. I mean, there’s just nobody around that would have that kind of cash if they’re smart liquid just sitting in an account.
And now we have this scenario. Know, she’s pounding her fist, saying she’s going to go enforce a judgment against a guy who’s got real estate attached to the state of New York. He can’t really move it, but it’s. It’s. It’s politics, and there’s no room or space for that. She’s supposed to be the attorney general. She’s supposed to seem impartial. But if you look at her track record, it’s not impartial.
She targets individuals, Exxon, big companies, companies that are right wing. She’s a person who has clearly targeted Trump. I mean, it’s not a question. It’s her with a loudspeaker in front of a rally to get her into. You know, we’ll get through it. It’s going to be a long game. We have to post, obviously, something and work that out with the appellate division. And I’m not going to speak to that at this point because it’s obviously a continuing open issue.
But don’t think this is not all by design. Right. We’ll bankrupt him. We’ll try and take his money. We’ll try and have women hate him. We’ll try and have people think he’s a criminal, a fraud. But the truth is, none of it is true. And he’s a strong candidate, as strong as we’ve ever had. And the country is afraid and our world is in trouble if we don’t get a strong president into.
Yeah, but we’ll take it head on, one thing at a time. So, I mean, like you said before, it’s election interference. I mean, they indicted him like four times. Now they tried to get him off the ballot. The Supreme Court ruled against that and he’s still on the ballot. Do you think they’re finished going after him and what do you think is next? No, I don’t think they’ll ever be finished.
I think they’re too afraid to be finished. They are fearful for themselves. Some of these people that have really gone after him. I think they’re afraid that he’s going to get in and clean house and that’s their political careers. The divisiveness, frankly, that has become our country’s political climate is disgusting. I don’t think they’ll ever be finished. I think that they’re seeing that these cases are not moving the way they wanted them to move.
Hiccups like in Georgia. I mean, the biggest disgrace right there with taxpayer know those things. The truth comes out in time and we just have to be patient. But the president hasn’t done anything wrong and time will definitely show that. Do you have any idea what you think they might try next to get? No, but I don’t put anything past them. No. I think they were ending at a time.
Right. So I don’t know. I thought four indictments was sufficient. Didn’t you? Not when they’re not working. More than Gotti. More than John Gotti. I mean, come on. This was one of the best, if not the best, presidents of our time in our country’s history. And this is how you treat them. It’s a disgrace. Yeah, it looks like a lot of the things that they tried to do to him are completely and utterly falling apart.
Like January 6, the whole narrative there is completely falling apart because now the documentation and the evidence is coming out that he actually did authorized, like 10,000 national guard, and Cheney kind of hid it from him. But when you look at it, if they were hiding information and they didn’t want the public to know the information, do you think there was an insurrection that actually occurred on January 6? What I know, and I don’t like that phrase because I think it’s being completely misused.
What I know is that there have been people that have testified in front of Congress that have said that there were FBI assets put on the ground on January 6. I know that my client said, go peacefully and patriotically. I’m not sure how, when you add those two things up, that means there was an insurrection started by Donald Trump. It sounds to me like there was a planned political movement and it wasn’t by the Republicans.
And if you look at the footage that has come out where they try and make it sound horrific, but you see people being guided with security. I mean, and I wasn’t there. I wasn’t part of the administration. But I can tell you what I see on TV. I can tell you what I hear when people are testifying, and none of that amounts to this. They use these words, fraud, insurrectionist, anything that they can.
Disgusting phrases about women and his treatment towards women that are just not true and have no factual basis. And I see it over and over again, and I can’t say that that in any way, shape, or form would ever amount to an insurrection with anybody but Donald Trump, because they need to create stories. And I think they played a really good story. And then when they did their own investigation, let’s not forget, Dave, all of a sudden, the evidence is gone.
All the evidence from that show that they put on where they had live air feet and Cheney sitting up there and she was doing her thing, all that evidence is gone. If you had real hard evidence, why wouldn’t you turn it over to the prosecutors who are handling January 6? Why wouldn’t you, when we asked to see it, have it to show us things like that make me afraid for our country.
Yeah, they hid the, I think the transcript with cash Patel where he testified that, yes, Trump authorized 10,000 national guard, but they kind of hid that from the public. Let’s talk about protecting ourself. Law enforcement agencies across the country are struggling to contain the steadily rising violent crime rates. Carjacking, homicides, robberies show no sign of slowing down and have affected politicians and residents alike, leaving many Americans fearful of their safety.
A recent poll also revealed that 63% of Americans rate the nation’s current crime levels as extremely or very serious. This is why I’ve been protecting myself, thanks to today’s sponsor, the fighter flare flashlight, and I absolutely love it.

So if we turn this around, do you think them hiding evidence, them creating this story, do you think the insurrection was actually against President Trump then? I mean, you could say that, right? Like I said, I don’t like to use that word. I’m not going to use it against other people if I don’t want it used against my client.
I’m an american lawyer, so for me, I’m not crazy. I don’t suffer from whatever the opposite of Trump Derangement syndrome is. I think all of it needs to stop. I think that the federal government has entities that are working and colluding with some of these people, and that’s a problem. Assets, why were they on the ground? Why were they wearing MAGA hats? If that’s true, that’s really disturbing.
And I think the american people are waking up. So I think that, yeah, I think there’s some speculation that this was planned. But what I can tell you is I’m not here to speculate. I just know my client and what he said, which was to go peacefully, patriotically, he had the right to question election integrity. I think our country’s election and integrity is in question, and there was absolutely nothing done wrong.
But they’re trying to bend the rules, break the know this immunity argument. They’re trying to make sure that presidents don’t have immunity. Well, that’s not going to apply just to President Trump. That’s going to apply to everybody. When you’re a sitting president, you have immunity so that you don’t leave. And get this, you don’t have foreign indictments, you don’t have criminal and civil cases one after another. But again, they’re so short sighted, if they do this to him, these laws will be used against them as know, you don’t think that if a republican candidate wins that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are going to be gone after lives.
They frankly should for working with foreign entities and getting mean. But if you take away immunity, Biden’s exposed. So they think short sighted and it’s really going to be dangerous and harmful to everybody that’s in this country. Which way do you think the Supreme Court’s going to rule on the immunity case? I mean, I know legally the way they should rule. I think the law is very clear.
I think there’s a lot of public interest in maintaining immunity protections for presidents. They can’t do their job without presidential immunity, which is the highest level of immunity and protection for a president. That way, if they need to bomb a country, they can’t then go be sued by that country for murder or charged with a murder. You can’t do that. And if you take that away, that is such a serious slippery slope.
So to not maintain presidential immunity to me, would be completely detrimental and flawed, to be honest. Do you know if immunity is that included in the constitution? Is there a law or something that says that? President yeah, the executive branch. There’s a couple types of immunity. The West Fall act, presidential immunity. They call it absolute immunity. It goes by a lot of things, but effectively, in plain, it’s based in the constitution, the separation of powers.
But more important, if you look at Nixon B. Fitzgerald, if you look at some of these cases that have preserved presidential president, the president’s office and preserve them and maintain that they are shielded from being sued civilly for government employees to non government employees for those four years in the office, they need to have those protections so they can do their job. And it’s rooted in a lot of things.
It’s overly complicated, but there’s case law that has preserved it. Separation of powers, executive branch. The president is the sole member of the executive branch. There’s nobody to blame but him. Right. But you have to also protect that branch because they need to be able to work without fear and work in a way that’s best for the country, even if it might hurt one or the other. And I think that that is something you need to preserve no matter who the president is.
And I say that with Joe Biden, I say that I think it should apply to all presidents. It’s very important. So I’m assuming Jack Smith needs the immunity gone to go after Trump in his. So if, if the supreme Court upholds the immunity, does that mean Jack Smith’s case, they’re done? Yes, because then you would be suing the federal government. And if you sue the federal government, well, you can’t sue the federal government for the same reason.
There’s immunity. Let me just bring us down this path. If the supreme Court somehow, some way says presidents don’t have immunity, does that mean they can convict Trump? No. You still have to prove your case. Well, yeah, I mean, after they. It just means the case can proceed. Okay. So there’s a stay in place pending the decision from the Supreme Court and know, pending the immunity decision, and then if the immunity does not apply, then the case can proceed.
But they still have to prove their case. They still have to prove their case. But don’t forget, these cases are brought in states where the jury pool, DC, New York is predominantly, you know, that’s not by accident. So my question is, do they really have to prove it then? I mean, look at the cases that you were involved. Hear you. I hear mean, you would like to think there’s some law and order, but when you have judges not allowing evidence in, like the woman went, know Anderson Cooper and said, rape is sexy.
When you’re not allowed to bring that up, you kind of have your hands tied behind your back. When you’re not allowed to bring an expert in, your hands are tied behind your back and they can bring their expert in. It’s crazy. So that’s where I get concerned. When the judges are assisting the jury in driving their decision towards a completely incorrect decision, that’s where I get concerned as an attorney.
Do you see from the time that you started in law to now, have you noticed the system is becoming more and more corrupt? I would never say that I was in a position with all my, let’s call them normal cases, and I had high profile cases, but they weren’t representing a former president and candidate. I have never seen this. I’m not sure I would have become a lawyer had I known that the country would be operating in this way and the practice of law would be so shameful, frankly.
So, no, I mean, there’s no possible way you could know what is actually happening unless you’re actually doing it yourself. And honestly, there’s not enough press conferences, Dave, for me to have to express the crazy ins and outs that I’ve seen in the courtroom representing President Trump. It is something I could never have imagined in law school, to be honest. Yeah. I think the american people, as they’re watching this and they’re watching you do your press conferences and they’re hearing what has happened in the courtroom, I think a lot of people are just shocked because the country is based on rule of law, and it looks like the rule of law handbook just went out the window and they’re doing whatever they want to do now.
That certainly feels like, and it feels like it’s very difficult. And it’s actually kind of scary for people because if they can do this to President Trump, then they can do this to every single other person, and then nobody. And I said that. Right? They don’t have me. They don’t have me running outside and saying, this is what is, this is actually what happened. They don’t have that.
And I’ve been criticized for doing that. But I feel that how will the world know? How will they know? They won’t know any different. Because if you’re leaning on the media that’s sitting in there typing and tweeting live feed, and that media is left wing and most of them are, you’re not going to hear what actually happened. Why, I actually almost got thrown into jail for objecting to evidence.
A PowerPoint slide, for crying out loud. I mean, how insane is that? I’m a civil attorney. I’m not in criminal court. We’re talking about monetary damages here. There is no reason that that should happen ever, unless you’re being completely egregious, disrespectful. It’s insane. It’s insane. Yeah, it really is. Let me ask you, do you think Biden is going to make it to the 2024 election? I don’t know.
I don’t think he has the capacity mentally at this moment to make it now. I don’t think he should be in office now, to be honest. But do I think as an American, I don’t know. I don’t put anything past the left. I think that they’re very sneaky. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t slip someone else in there last minute. At this moment, it looks like he’s their guy, which speaks volumes.
But to me, he’s a puppet. He’s not the real guy running the show. I mean, I believe that there are prior administrations helping assist the current president in doing what he’s doing. And who do you think that is? Your guess is as good as mine can be. There are certain presidents that haven’t left Washington, which is very strange to me, and are still have their guys in mean, you could do your research.
I’m sure you already know the answer to that. Are you talking about Obama? I’m just an American. I’m just an american looking at facts. Right. And to me, I don’t think there’s any question. You see Obama on the plane with Biden. You see them. It’s very strange. Very strange. So let me just go back to 2020, because 2020, during the election, during that period of time, there was a virus that was released on the world and they brought in mail, in ballots, dropboxes.
The elections were paused when the elections were going on, something that people have never seen before. And it’s very interesting because you’ve been in the court system and you’re seeing things that you’ve never seen before. People in this country are seeing things, like with the elections and everything else that they’d never seen before. Do you think this time around in 2024, the elections for 2024, do you think that they’re going to do something or try something to manipulate the elections again? What do you call what’s happening right now? I think this is it.
I think they’re doing that when I was election interference, I’m not kidding. I think this is it. I think this is what they’re doing. I think that if they could put them in jail, they would. I think that’s their new form because we caught on to the last form of cheating, right? So there’s no question our country needs reform and election integrity needs to be examined. There is no question.
I am not a conspiracy theorist person, Dave. You know that. I work with facts, not stories. And for me, there’s no question that needs to happen. But I also think that this is truly how they’re going to try and steal the know, it’s funny that you say like conspiracy theory, because actually, if you just go back a couple years, if someone came up to you and said, listen, Alina, I don’t know if you know this, but your client.
They’re going to interfere in the election. You won’t be able to get fair trials. Everything that you try to do is going to be stopped because the system is corrupt. They’re dealing with Biden, who’s attacking this political opponent. I guess back then it would be a conspiracy theory. But now that you’re actually experiencing it, I guess that conspiracy theory turns into truth, right? 100%. And I’m not saying that I don’t agree with a lot of the things that have said and have become true.
You know that I think where I go is I’m very careful into guessing what could happen next. I can tell you what’s happening now. They’re trying to steal an election by putting the leading candidate in jail. There is no question about that. And if that’s not election interference and interfering and trying to take away. Until last week, we weren’t even allowed to vote in certain states for President Trump.
Yeah. How was that not election interference? That is insane. That’s stealing an election. That’s crazy to me. We have rights as Americans. It’s not about President Trump and President Biden. What about us? We get to choose. We get to choose who we want to vote for. And you can’t take away our. That’s our right. That’s not even his right. It’s our right. And when you become that desperate, that is 100% interference.
That is stealing an election. That is all of those things. Well, it’s funny when you say we have the right to choose, but when you look at election interference and you look at what they did back in 2020, they actually took that right away from us. And they’re continually trying to take that right away from us. I don’t think they want us to choose 100%. Yeah. Well, let me ask you a final question.
Who is the better trial lawyer, you or cash? Me or cash? Yes. Don’t ever put me against my cash. I love cash Patel. I’ve never seen cash in trial. But you know what I would say we’re probably both great, and we would make an amazing team, because he’s my buddy. He’s like my brother. I love him, and he’s just such an american and such a diehard patriot. And when I started in this crazy world, he was there for me.
He told me who I could trust, but he just was always there, always picked up the phone. Still does. In this madness, there are very few people that you can really trust and be close with, and I think that he is one of the good guys. So I’d be willing to say we’re both amazing. And if we were ever together on trial, God help who’s ever on the other side.
I agree with that. Hey, Alina, thank you very much for being on the spotlight. If people wanted to follow you, where should they go? Twitter, alinahaba, Instagram, alinahaba. True social, of course. Alinahaba. It’s all my name. I’m pretty easy to follow. There’s some fake accounts, but if you take a look, you’ll figure it out. I’m verified. Okay, great. I’ll put those links at the bottom of the video.
Alina, once again, thank you very much for being on the spotlight. I really appreciate it. Thanks. I appreciate you. Thank you, Dave. Thank you. .
