Trump’s lawyer slams ‘two-tier justice system’ as ex-president faces historic federal indictment
Donald Trump’s attorney accused the United States of having a “two-tier justice system,” noting that Donald Trump has been charged but Bill and Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden have not.
Alina Habba told Fox News that indicting Trump on federal allegations related to improper handling of classified documents is a sign of a “sick world.”
She said she was ashamed to be a lawyer, called the charges “persecution” and said it was a “sad attempt at political interference”.
“We’re seeing a two-tier justice system right now,” she told Jesse Watters.
“Hillary Clinton destroyed a computer and deleted emails.”
“We had recordings in sock drawers.
“We have Biden and Obama hiding things — Biden still has things in Chinatown, in his house, with a son who is a drug addict.”
“And nothing happens to these people.”

Habba told Fox News host Jesse Watters that Trump’s impeachment was the sign of a “sick world.”
Hillary Clinton’s employees admitted to smashing two of their old phones with a hammer.
Their employees also deleted 30,000 emails on their server in 2015 that had nothing to do with government work and were older than 60 days.
Her husband spoke to historian Taylor Branch during his tenure, and the two chronicled their discussions for a book. Bill Clinton kept his tapes in a sock drawer. Conservatives argued that these were presidential files that should be handed out.
Biden found classified material in his think tank offices in Washington DC and in his home in Delaware: they were handed over.
Obama’s office refused to take classified documents.

Still, Habba said there were clear prejudices against her client, which she attributed to his political skills.
“If your name is Donald Trump and you’re leading the polls, it’s going to hit you hard,” she said.
“You will be charged until you can take it no longer.”
“But you picked the wrong guy.”
Habba said Trump’s indictment — the first ever federal indictment against a former president — was unfair and “shows what a sick world we live in.”
She continued, “I am very scared for the country at the moment and I am saddened for my client — despite being resilient and strong.”
“And it just shows me again why we need him back in the White House.”
Habba said the “establishment” was afraid of Trump because he was independent.
“Donald Trump isn’t owned by a lobbyist.” “He’s not owned by a financier — anyone who would give him money in exchange for access,” she said. “He doesn’t need the money.”
“And that’s the scariest thing about the current political climate in America.”
“And that’s why he’s the greatest threat to the corrupt political system that we have; to the corrupt Justice Department we have.’
Habba said they looked forward to presenting Trump’s version of events.
Jack Smith was appointed special counsel in November to investigate Trump’s handling of classified information
She attacked special counsel Jack Smith, accusing him of being a political hack aimed at overthrowing Trump.
“All of these indictments, the American people need to remember, are a one-sided evidentiary hearing before a grand jury appointed by far-left Democrats,” she said.
“Jack Smith is practically what you would call a Democratic left-wing agent.”
“He just hates Trump, hates the right wing.”
“He puts these people in a silo and gives them his evidence.”
She concluded, “Now is our chance to present our evidence and finish it.”
“If we get an impartial judge, an impartial jury, we will be justified on all fronts.”
