Trump lawyer Alina Habba rips NY judge for suggesting ex-prez may have to miss son Barron’s high school graduation

Former President Donald Trump’s civil lawyer Alina Habba slammed the judge in his New York hush money trial for suggesting he might not be able to attend his youngest son’s high school graduation — and for not calling off the proceedings on Passover.

“You’re not even allowing a father — never mind a former president — but a father [to] attend his son’s graduation,” Habba lamented to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, following the first day of jury selection in the former president’s criminal trial.

“And let’s not forget Passover, OK?” the attorney — who made headlines as a member of Trump’s defense team in his civil fraud trial and in writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit — continued.

“Observant Jews have a right to go and pray to who they want and observe Passover. And this judge would not allow it. Not for any of the attorneys,” Habba said of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan.

“And there are observant Jewish attorneys on the Trump team as well [as] on the DA team,” she noted. “It’s just a sad state of affairs for the American people, I could tell you that.”

Habba, in a separate appearance on conservative podcast “The Benny Show,” explained why she wasn’t at the high-profile proceedings — the first criminal trial of a current or former US president — because she reps Trump in civil matters.

“Obviously, you know, being a type A person, I wish I was a criminal attorney but I’m not,” she said. “But the great news is that, then I can do this and let everybody know what is actually happening.”

Habba’s remarks came just hours after Merchan said he could not commit to letting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee take May 17 off to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation in Palm Beach, Fla.

“It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial,” Merchan said in court Monday.

He also refused to allow Trump to attend US Supreme Court arguments next week on immunity claims the ex-president raised in another case related to charges brought against Capitol rioters for allegedly obstructing an official government proceeding.

“Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there, but a trial in New York Supreme Court … is also a big deal,” the judge said, rebuffing Trump lawyer Todd Blanche’s request.

“I will see him here next week,” Merchan added.

But the judge did decide that the court will not meet on the last two days of Passover, which lasts eight days and begins at sunset on April 22.

He ruled the court will work until 2 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, April 22 and 23, and on Tuesday, April 30, “to allow counsel sufficient time to arrive at their holiday destination.”

Trump railed against those decisions outside the courthouse on Monday.

“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son, who’s worked very, very hard,” the former president told reporters.

“He’s a great student and he’s very proud of the fact he did so well, and was looking forward for years to have his graduation with his mother and father there — and it looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam — it’s a scam trial,” he claimed.

“We’re not going to be given a fair trial,” Trump continued, calling Merchan a “conflicted judge.”

“He won’t allow me to leave here for a half a day to go to DC and go before the United States Supreme Court, because he thinks he’s superior, I guess, than the Supreme Court.”

Trump concluded his tirade by claiming Merchan’s decisions constitute election interference.

“That I can’t go to my son’s graduation, that I can’t go to the US Supreme Court, that I’m not in Georgia or Florida or North Carolina campaigning like I should be … it’s perfect for the radical-left Democrats,” he said.

“That’s exactly what they want.”

Fox Nation host Piers Morgan suggested Trump should “just go to the graduation.”

“Every parent in America, whether they like you or hate you, will go, ‘Yeah, I’d have done that too,’” he said Monday on “The Five.”

No jurors were selected Monday. Out of a first pool of 96 prospects, at least 50 were excused after saying they could not be fair and impartial when judging the ex-president, and 32 remained by the end of day.

The trial — the first criminal prosecution of a US president — could last up to eight weeks and will run every weekday except Wednesdays.
