Alina Habba's Words Come Back to Haunt Her

The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
This case is nothing more than another part of the political witch hunt being carried out by Democrats against the Republican ex-president. It should be dismissed, and if the state is looking for a settlement, it shouldn't hold its breath. Despite perfect testimony from experts who said Trump did nothing wrong and this case was a sham, the case has been rigged against Trump from the start. It'll be won on appeal if that's what it comes to.
Anti-Trump narrative
Those perfect witnesses Trump's lawyers called to the stand are all bought and paid for by the former president and the PAC aiding his run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Of course, they're going to say whatever his attorneys tell them to say. This case must go all the way to the judge's verdict, and then Trump should pay for his fraudulent behavior — even if none of this costs him in the polls.
