Trump Lawyer Says Trial Dates ‘Unrealistic,’ Makes Major Prediction

Former President Donald Trump’s attorney and spokeswoman Alina Habba proclaimed Sunday that dates set in his four criminal trials are not realistic and predicted they will be rescheduled.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, Ms. Habba was asked about how his lawyers were trying to prepare for the four trials in different jurisdictions while maintaining his 2024 campaign for president.

“These trial dates are going to move. It’s unrealistic. It’s theatrics,” she said of the current trial schedule. “No judge is going to say that you can be on two trials at once in two different states, because a lot of these overlap.”

Judges, she said, “look at the start date of the trial, but these are four-to-six-week trials at the least. So there’s no way they’re not going to overlap. They’re gonna have to go into October, November of next year.”

Ms. Habba, meanwhile, said that all the cases brought against the 45th president are designed to “tie him up” amid the campaign and as he’s currently the top-polled GOP candidate. “They intentionally waited years and years” to bring charges against the former president, she told the outlet.

When asked about how President Trump faces a maximum 700 years in prison for all the charges—federal and state—against him, she said that it’s a bid to intimidate him during his campaign.

President Trump faces multiple charges in a 2020 election case that was brought by special counsel Jack Smith. Those charges include conspiracy against rights, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, according to an indictment unsealed last month.

Mr. Smith’s team has also charged the former president on multiple charges relating to his alleged mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House. In may, the special counsel claimed President Trump engaged in felony violations of national security laws and conspiracy to obstruct justices.
