Former Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba was a guest on Wednesday’s (April 29) episode of The View and faced a volley of very tough questions about Trump’s most controversial actions, decisions, and statements.
Though the segment started out friendly enough, with Habba being invited to reflect on her experience being part of the crowd at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a shooting took place, things got tense when Sunny Hostin questioned her about Trump’s Justice Department attempting to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey for a social media post he’d made, which read, “8647.”
