Habba was a guest on Jesse Watters’ Fox News show and celebrated after an appellate court reduced Donald Trump’s bond from the $464 million he owes for committing business fraud to $175 million.

James, the New York attorney general, would have been able to begin seizing his properties after the original Monday deadline, but the court’s ruling allowed the former president 10 days to come up with the lesser amount.

Habba told Watters that Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw the civil fraud trial, and James had no “moral compass” or “conscience.”

She sniped further at James: “I hope she took a little piece of humble pie today because that’s what was served to her. Just a little. But we’ll be serving a lot more of that in the next couple of years.”

Alina Habba is also being criticized for jetting off to St. Barts in the Caribbean to celebrate her 40th birthday, and there are even comments that she used Trump donations to do so.

Save America—the political action committee that has paid for the Republican's legal bills—has spent $5.34 million on Habba's law firm, Habba Madaoi & Associates LLP.

Habba has become a prominent part of Trump's legal team and over the weekend she took a break from defending the former president.

New York Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in February that Trump must pay $355 million for committing fraud. The court held that Trump and top executives at The Trump Organization committed fraud by inflating the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and insurers. With interest, the full payment was $464 million but a state appeals court ruled he could post a drastically reduced bond of $175 million.

The GOP nominee has struggled to raise funds for his bond but has stepped up his efforts, launching a joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee (RNC) to drum up cash.
