Alina Habba, attorney for former President Donald Trump, said jail time is “not even something we think about” as the trial against her client in New York heads into its fifth week. A New York judge had warned of “imprisonment” for violating a gag order he issued on Oct. 3.

“Listen, he’s protected by Secret Service, No. 1. No. 2, he did nothing wrong,” Ms. Habba told Newsmax. “So, when people go to jail it’s because they’ve done something wrong. Do we have crooked situations in and out of court? Absolutely. Could they try? Probably. But it won’t work because there is still trial process. There is still facts, and unfortunately they’re not going to win on the facts.”
