Alina Habba, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, appeared last month before a federal grand jury investigating the mishandling of classified documents from his time in the White House, two sources familiar with the investigation told CNN.
Habba is the third Trump lawyer known to have been brought before the DC-based grand jury, which is investigating obstruction in addition to criminal violations of government records laws.
While Habba has not played the prominent role that other Trump attorneys have played in responding to the documents probe, which spilled out in public view with an August FBI search of Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, she has made notable TV appearances defending Trump and criticizing the federal documents probe.
Habba also has been a lead attorney in litigation related to New York Attorney General Letitia James civil case against the Trump family and their business for alleged financial fraud. In that role, she personally searched several Trump properties including Trumps residence and private office at Mar-a-Lago weeks before the FBI search.
She was tasked with recovering any Trump Organization documents that James was seeking but told a New York court she didnt find any records covered by the subpoena from the attorney general.

(24,588 posts)1. Now Habba has a problem because
she incriminated herself all over right wing media.

Looks like the prosecution isn't going to just see one or two, get "enough validation" that he was just being his usual noisy self, and then dismiss. 3 means they'll keep going until they do land the evidence to convict.
