One of former President Donald Trump’s lawyers made a plea to judges involved in his cases on Thursday, saying they should fight the “complete politicization” of the justice system.

During an appearance on Fox News, lawyer and spokeswoman Alina Habba said she agreed with the notion that the cases against her client and politically motivated and designed to harm his chances for reelection. The cases, she said, are “100 percent” motivated by politics, adding: “This is not what the courts are supposed to be used for ... and it’s disgusting, it’s disgraceful.”
