Trump lawyer: 'There is context to everything'

Trump attorney Alina Habba said the public will get a much different view of the case against former President Donald Trump when his team mounts a defense in court.

"There is context to everything," she said on "Fox News Sunday." "That context will be brought out on defense. And that's going to be our opportunity. We have not had an opportunity to give our side."

She said Trump's legal team will counter all the material that special counsel Jack Smith presented in his 37-count indictment of the former president.

Habba said Trump had every right to remove documents to his home from the White House and also said she found it hard to believe that boxes of documents were left willy-nilly around Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, because "he doesn't operate like that."

She also told host Shannon Bream that there's no way she could ever see Trump, who said Saturday he intends to remain in the presidential race, accepting a plea deal.

"You take a plea deal to make something go away," Habba said. "That's an admission of guilt. He would never admit guilt because there was nothing wrong with declassifying documents, taking documents with you."
