Alina Habba has been removed as the attorney representing Allen Weisselberg, a former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, in an ongoing legal case, according to an April 7 court filing.

In recent times Habba has emerged as a prominent Trump associate, representing the former president in a number of his legal cases and becoming a regular at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

In March Trump became the presumptive Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election following a string of GOP primary wins. This focused attention on both his policies and ongoing legal battles, with the GOP firebrand facing four criminal prosecutions—along with a number of civil cases. Trump has pled not guilty to all charges in all four of his criminal cases and denies any wrongdoing.

On April 7 Weisselberg sent a notice to change attorneys form to Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the civil fraud case brought against Trump and a number of his associates by New York Attorney General Letitia Jones.

1. Weisselberg goes from one traitortrump "associate" to another. Doesn't seem smart, to me.

2. Editing Fail

“GOP firebrand” is how they label Trump?
Bad Newsweek, bad dog.

Calling a traitorous criminal a “firebrand” is like calling Jeffery Dahmer a food critic.

On April 7 Weisselberg sent a notice to change attorneys form to Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the civil fraud case brought against Trump and a number of his associates by New York Attorney General Letitia Jones.

Speaking to Newsweek Habba said the change in Weisselberg's representation was mutually agreed confirming they'd departed on good terms, and described Morian as "a dear friend."

Referring to their respective law firms, Habba Madaio & Associates LLP and Morian Law PLLC, the filing stated: "IT IS HEREBY CONSENTED THAT MORIAN Law PLLC, 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 4600, New York, NY 10165, be substituted as counsel of record for Defendant, Allen Weisselberg, in place and stead of Habba Madaio & Associates LLP, 112 West 34th St, 17th & 18th Floors, New York, NY 10120." The document was then signed by both Habba and Morian.
