Attorney Alina Habba had critics asking the same sarcastic question following her latest comment about her client, former President Donald Trump.
Habba was asked Wednesday on Fox News if she thought the Republican nominee’s upcoming trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case would begin as scheduled on March 25.
“Well, really it shouldn’t,” Habba responded.
“We have an immunity defense that’s currently up on the Supreme Court,” she noted. “It’s going to be made a decision and should be stayed until all of those decisions are made [...] and we’ll see what happens there.”
MacCallum: The first case that is set to go to trial is in New York City on March 25. It deals with the hush money that was paid to Stormy Daniels…

However, the Supreme Court will rule on whether Trump is immune (as he argues) from acts committed when he was president.
In the hush money scheme, Trump was charged with 34 felony counts over actions that allegedly occurred before he won the 2016 election — when he wasn’t yet the president.
People on X (formerly Twitter) suggested Trump’s legal team was seeking immunity for everything he has done since birth.
Immunity defense won't help here sweetheart!

How does immunity apply to acts before he became President?

Does he have retroactive immunity prior to being president? Asking for a nation.

If I were a lawyer, I would be embarrassed to watch her embarrassing my profession. As it is, I'm just uninformed uncomfortable watching her.

Why would Trump need immunity? That's right he's guilty. Only Crooks plead the fifth only criminals need immunity.

Does she think immunity covers everything Trump has done since he was hatched?

Except the hush money was paid before he was inaugurated

This happened before Trump was elected president. Does absolute immunity go back to birth? What ‘official acts’ was Trump protecting?

Um, the hush money was paid before he became President, Alina.

But he wasn't president then.
