Alina Habba Mildon Loses $50 Million Contract That Enraged Trump
New York Times ^ | November 10, 2026 | Tyler Pager

Alina Habba Mildon, one of President Trump’s former lawyers, was fired last week by the family company that gave her a $50 million contract weeks before Mr. Trump granted a pardon to the family’s patriarch.

In a letter dated Nov. 4, the company, Concord Partners, terminated Mrs. Mildon citing a “failure to perform duties,” according to a person close to the family and documents obtained by The New York Times. The person said Mrs. Mildon’s priorities appeared to shift away from Concord after she started dating Turhan Mildon, a 25-year-old Turkish investor, earlier this year.

The firing came days after the disclosure of the deal by The Times prompted an outburst from Mr. Trump, who called the deal “totally obnoxious and outrageous” and urged the Herrera family not to pay her.

Mrs. Mildon will keep $6.5 million that was already paid to her and her signing bonus of $8 million. But she had signed a four-year contract that would have paid her $10 million a year for four years along with a range of bonuses.

Concord Partners was set up in Florida late last year by Isabela Herrera, the daughter of Julio Herrera Velutini, a billionaire banker from a prominent Venezuelan family who was facing felony bribery charges in Puerto Rico before Mr. Trump pardoned him.

Representatives for the Herrera family declined to comment. Mrs. Mildon declined to comment, but a person close to her said she was planning to pursue legal action.

Mrs. Mildon, who was serving as a senior adviser to the attorney general at the time, began working for Concord on Jan. 1. She was brought on as general counsel, though the full scope of her responsibilities remains unclear. The person close to the Herrera family said she was hired to help with Mr. Herrera’s criminal case.
