"Legal Battle Looms Over Weisselberg Perjury Allegations and Trump's Former CFO"
TL;DR
Attorney Alina Habba's response to perjury allegations against Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization, has raised concerns, as she represents both Weisselberg and Donald Trump. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin pointed out that Habba's response to a judge's demand for answers did not deny conferring with Weisselberg or his criminal defense counsel about plea negotiations, potentially violating ethical obligations. The situation could put Habba's career at risk as the judge continues to consider penalties in the civil suit against Trump.
