Shannon Bream pushed back on Habba’s claim that President Joe Biden was responsible for Trump’s hush-money charges in New York.
Donald Trump has lashed out at a Fox News host after she disputed a claim by Alina Habba, the former president’s lawyer, that President Joe Biden was behind the hush-money case.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Fox News’ Shannon Bream of being « naive » after she spoke with Habba Wednesday. In the interview, Habba—who is not representing Trump in the hush-money case—called the trial a « Biden show. » Bream responded that the indictment against Trump, which was brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, was not a federal case.
In March 2023, following an investigation by the Manhattan DA’s Office, Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in relation to money he arranged for his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep an alleged affair she had with Trump a secret in the run-up to the 2016 election.
The $130,000 sum was listed in Trump’s company records as Cohen’s « legal fees, » which prosecutors suggest was part of an unlawful attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential race.
