Alina Habba lashed out at Fox News host Shannon Bream on Wednesday after she debunked the false claim that President Joe Biden is behind the prosecution of Donald Trump.
Trump is on trial in New York for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to pay hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election to remain silent about their affair.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday while the jury deliberated Habba, Trump’s attorney who is not representing him in this case, claim Biden is behind this prosecution despite it being a state case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“Joe Biden, unfortunately, can’t really do anything in office. So he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip-and-fall and make money,” Habba said. “And that is frankly what we’re seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show because he’s got to distract the American people.”
“But the Biden administration is not responsible for this trial,” Bream interjected.
“How can you say the Biden administration is not responsible for this trial?” an indignant Habba demanded.
“It’s a state trial. It’s Alvin Bragg. Whether you think there’s a political motive for him, it’s not connected to the DOJ,” Bream answered. “I mean, the feds passed on these election charges.”
“You should look at how many logs they have of state officials – Letitia James, Fani Willis – visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial,” Habba said.
“The feds passed on this, is the point I’m making,” Bream responded.
