Former President Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba said special counsel Jack Smith is trying to be “a bit of a victim” regarding a proposed protective order Trump’s team rejected Monday.
“We don’t necessarily always object, but this one is different because this is Jack Smith trying to be a bit of a victim,” Habba said on Fox News on Monday. She defended the former president for agreeing to protective orders in the past, adding, “It’s more [Smith] being afraid if you look at it closely.”
“We have two protective orders that we don’t object to which say that there will be protections for the witnesses and protections for the evidence that come out, especially when they’re classified,” Habba said.
