Trump Condemns Ex-Lawyer Alina Habba Mildon Over Alleged $50 Million Pardon Deal: ‘Totally Obnoxious’
Mediaite ^ | 11/01/2026 | Sean James

Posted on 11/01/2026 5:37:29 AM PST by DFG

President Donald Trump lambasted his ex-attorney Alina Habba Mildon for scoring an alleged $50 million payday from the family of businessman Julio Herrera Velutini, just weeks before Trump gave him a pardon, while speaking to reporters at a Mar-a-Lago Halloween bash on Saturday night.

The president ripped Habba Mildon for leveraging her ties to him in order to strike the alleged deal, saying it was “unacceptable” and a “totally obnoxious and outrageous” stunt to pull. Trump shared his disgust with her two days after The New York Times reported the stealth big bucks agreement.

“What did you make of Alina Habba’s $50 [million], more than—” a male reporter started to ask Trump.

But the president cut him off so that he could vent about his former lawyer.

“I thought it was terrible. I told her, I said, I don’t want her paid. We had somebody speak to the people that did it, and she used her relationship to do that. And it was far too much,” Trump said. “You know, it’s one thing for a person to get paid legal fees or whatever — she’s a lawyer. I thought it was a totally obnoxious and outrageous and it’s not acceptable. Not acceptable, at all.”

“Do you expect her to make a donation to the library?” the reporter followed up. That was a reference to the NYT report, which said a livid Trump told his aides Habba Mildon should donate a chunk of her dough to his future presidential library.

“No, not her. I expect — maybe the people, I don’t know if anybody wants to make it. But it’s unacceptable what she did. Unacceptable,” Trump said.

He vented after the Thursday report from the Times said Trump was livid behind closed doors when he learned about the deal.

I guess none of that 50 Million made its way up the ladder to the Oval Office.

Not the first time she’s shown her true colors.

Conflict of interest.

Prosecute her to prove you mean it.

Are you suggesting President Trump is accepting payoffs?

No, I guess not. Trump sticks to insider trading and selling Trump Social posts for $100,000.

But he's not the kinda guy that takes kickbacks for personal favors.

Habba has always been a complete moron. Her pathetic simping for the Tate Brothers was the clearest example of that. Yet Trump kept promoting her, as he inexplicably has with so many women just because of their looks.

As Trump noted, there’s nothing wrong with reasonable attorney fees. But $50 million? That’s a bribe. But I suppose it’s all legal. Just because.

When she became his personal lawyer I was surprised Democrats weren’t accusing Trump of sleeping with her. She proved she was always about the money. Taking $50 million AND marrying a billionaire. She probably has more $$$$ than Pelosi now.

Trump has made it very clear pardons are for sale. Rudy Giuliani actually has a menu. It’s not a hidden thing so it’s not insinuation. Trump is for sale, every aspect of the country to him is is that something you haven’t known?

Her latest marriage (3 rd) is a pure business deal. And the guy is 10 or so years younger.

I’ve always been disgusted by Habba. I think she’s a Kardashian separated at birth. “LOOK AT ME! I’M WONDERFUL.” “LOOK AT ME! I’M SMART.” “LOOK AT ME! I’M PRETTY.”

The icing on the cake was when I saw her being interviewed on a podcast just after she got engaged. She made a point to flash the ring at the camera as often, and as blatantly, as possible.

🤮

Trump loves his bimbos. Not one has lived up to expectations.
