“If these allegations are true, Sean, that's very concerning on so many levels. Number one for Georgia voters is that your tax dollars are now working with her to support Mr. Trump. It's subsidizing her boyfriend who is working to persecute and prosecute her,” Haba told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “We have this for the American people who literally had no self-respect, no dignity, and who thought they couldn't attack him anymore, when they thought they couldn't go any lower. Now, a woman has claimed that her Talk about bringing in someone who is your boyfriend, paying him 4x to 10x your income, whatever that number is, taking vacations on taxpayers' money, and chasing Trump in your spare time. I am doing it.”

Haba also criticized journalists who were caught on hot mics. joke President Trump was assassinated during oral arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The court is hearing an appeal from the ruling by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of the District of Columbia, which rejected the appeal. Trump's lawyers asked that the four-count indictment against Trump secured by special counsel Jack Smith in August be dropped.
“Joking about the assassination of a former president or major candidate is psychotic and pathological and should be dealt with appropriately,” Haba said.
Haba said the allegations surrounding Willis proved that Trump was being targeted for political reasons. “They're going to blame him for what they're doing, and that's the case here,” Haba said. “That's a perfect example. That says it all. If this is true, if she really uses taxpayer money to collect vacation time and go after Trump with a complete disregard for ethics and a thorough prosecution. , it's called selective prosecution, you target someone and go after them, and then you team up with your friends.” (Related: After Jack Smith's SCOTUS setback, former federal prosecutor says Georgia case is Democrats' best bet to jail Trump)
“The only RCIO I see is a RICO with DA and AG participation,” Habba continued. “This conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all. We have Soros-backed financiers and other financiers that we have seen supporting these individuals, and they are coordinating and They're making money, they're getting famous, and politically, their agenda is all the same: get Trump. This is the only RICO case I've seen here. is the only case of RICO. The facts are true: Donald Trump did nothing wrong and they intentionally did things like this to interfere in the election because they can't beat Trump in the polls. I did it.”
