Trump lawyer: 'Everybody was made aware that he lost the election'
Minutes before former President Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. to be arraigned in United States Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's four-federal-felony-count indictment for allegedly trying to steal the 2020 election, one of Trump's attorneys told reporters that they all knew that Trump was defeated by President Joe Biden.
Alina Habba was asked by a reporter to "reconcile" that "there's testimony and there's a number of aides that have said that the president was made aware that he lost the election, and yet continued to argue that it was stolen from him."
Habba maintained that it was up to Trump because he was receiving conflicting information.
"Well, I think that everybody was made aware that he lost the election, but that doesn't mean that that was the only advice he was given," Habba said. "As anybody understands what happens in the Oval Office, there are a numerous amount of advisors and politicians and lawyers, not just one or two that are giving you advice and telling you what they believe is true. So he may not agree with Mike Pence. He may not agree with one of his lawyers. But that doesn't mean that there weren't other people advising him exactly the opposite. And the president has a right as every one of us do, to listen to several opinions and make their decision."
