Donald Trump’s spokeslawyer Alina Habba downplays the reaction cited by Fox’s Steve Doocy that the Fulton County indictment is Trump’s “most perilous threat,” claiming they have “inside information”
We do not agree that it is a perilous threat because we actually have inside information so– I love when people– Well, the inside information, Steve… well, you know, you used to love Trump [uncomfortable laughter] I gotta tell you, I mean– this is something, I’m not gonna breach. I have confidentiality and I have ethics and I’m gonna continue. I think you need to understand something. When somebody is given a report, and he has reports, that showed that there was interference, and you can be advised by one lawyer that says, ‘oh, I don’t think so,’ and you could have another lawyer that says, ‘no, I do think so,’ and here’s some reports and we know that there are issues in Fulton County, right? We know! It’s not a question. There was election issues and the integrity of our election is in question at this very moment. Um, and when he says, ‘I wanna look into it. I don’t trust it. We need to look into it.’ That’s his obligation as a president.”
No, there is no question about the integrity of the election. All 50 states certified their results. It’s over, Alina. It’s been over for nearly three years. And Trump’s obligation as a President was to honor the electors as certified by the various states, not try to extort and threaten Georgia election officials, nor try to undermine the integrity of the Constitution by submitting fake electors to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power after an election he lost.
