Trump’s Star Lawyer Tells Media Trump Won't Take A Plea Deal Since He Hasn't 'Done Anything Wrong'

45th President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, said during an interview with Fox News’s Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday” that Trump will not take a plea deal since he hasn’t "done anything wrong.”

“I know, I would never advise that, especially when he's not done anything wrong. You take a plea deal to make something go away," Habba said.

"That's an admission of guilt. He would never admit guilt. Because there was nothing wrong with declassifying documents, taking documents with you,” she added.

On Thursday, President Trump announced the Biden Administration informed him he had been indicted in the documents case and, as such, would be summoned to appear at a Federal Courthouse in Miami, Florida on Tuesday.

Trump has been charged with thirty-seven counts, one of which is conspiracy, concerning the classified documents case.

“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is ‘secured’ by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time,” Trump wrote.

“I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM,” Trump added.

“I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United States, who received far more votes than any sitting President in the History of our Country, and is currently leading, by far, all Candidates, both Democrat and Republican, in Polls of the 2024 Presidential Election. I AM AN INNOCENT MAN,” Trump continued.

“This is indeed a DARK DAY for the United States of America. We are a Country in serious and rapid Decline, but together we will Make America Great Again,” Trump wrote.

On Monday at 10 a.m., Trump's attorneys, John Rowley, James Trusty, and Lindsey Halligan, were at the Department of Justice after requesting a meeting with top federal law enforcement officials, according to a CBS News report.

Trump’s lawyers stayed at the Department of Justice for “just under two hours." Attorney General Merrick Garland did not attend the meeting.

"Trump's legal team is frustrated with how Justice Department officials have handled attorney-client matters in recent months and would likely raise their concerns on this front during Monday's meeting, in particular, prosecutors' discussions of related issues in front of the grand jury,” CBS News added.

In an op-ed by former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz on Substack, he concludes that a "[c]riminal indictment of former president has no legitimate basis."

“The bottom line is that if Mr. Trump or his lawyers allege — even without his testifying — that he declassified the documents, a criminal charge of unauthorized possession of classified documents will be difficult to prove. That doesn’t mean that a prosecutor could not get a grand jury to indict this particular ham sandwich. It does mean that it’s unlikely that a conviction against Mr. Trump would be sustainable,” Dershowitz writes.

“Based on what we know, we believe that there is no legitimate basis for a criminal indictment of Mr. Trump based on the material that was found at Mar-a-Lago,” Dershowitz concludes.
