Trump attorney leans on Supreme Court to repay their debt to Trump
Nice Supreme Court you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.
Speaking on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program, Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba didn’t make her threats quite that explicit, but she came close. In discussing the court’s review of the Colorado Supreme Court’s removal of Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot, which was based on his violation of the 14th Amendment by supporting an insurrection, Habba made it clear that she expected justices appointed by Trump to “step up” and give him the ruling he wants.
In particular, Habba singled out Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“You know, people like Kavanaugh,” Habba said to Hannity, “who the president fought for, who the president went through hell to get into place, he’ll step up.”
If that sounds like an explicit demand for a quid pro quo, that’s because it is.
