Trump Lawyer Dismisses Concerns of Former President Facing Jail Time Amid Legal Troubles

Despite multiple legal battles including violating gag orders, Trump's lawyer Alina Habba insists he will not face time in jail, citing Secret Service protection and claiming all allegations are politically motivated.

Alina Habba, one of Trump's lead defense attorneys, insists that the former president faces no risk of jail time, even amidst multiple legal battles. Habba believes that Trump's Secret Service protection and the fact that all allegations against him are politically motivated will keep him from prison.
Trump was recently fined $10,000 for violating a gag order in his New York business fraud case by insulting and threatening the judge’s staff. Violation of a second gag order, related to his criminal federal election interference case, could lead to more fines or potential jail time.
Despite these circumstances, Habba and her team are not concerned about Trump facing jail time, attributing the legal issues to 'Trump derangement syndrome' and asserting that Trump has not committed any criminal or civil wrongs.
Since leaving the White House, Trump has pleaded 'not guilty' to four criminal indictments, which include alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and mishandling of classified documents.
Habba's remarks have sparked debate, with opinions varying in part due to the lack of precedent for jailing a former president. Some legal experts, such as former White House lawyer Ty Cobb, believe jail time for Trump could be a possibility, especially in regards to violations of court-imposed gag orders.
