'Extortion': Trump lawyer Alina Habba lashes out against plea deal talks

Donald Trump isn't going to cut an "extortion" plea deal with New York prosecutors and is ready to quit doing business in the city that made him and his family's real estate empire.

Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba ripped into New York Attorney General Letitia James for muscling her notorious client to pay an obscene sum in his $250 million civil lawsuit that she brought against him and the Trump Organization, according to an exclusive interview in the Daily Mail.

After gaveling in weeks of sensational testimony from the 45th president himself — along with his grownup sons, Eric and Don Jr. and their sister Ivanka — the esquire was asked if a plea deal could be cooking behind closed doors to spare a potential defeat once New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron rules.

'"It would be very difficult position for me to advise my client at this point to pay for what is effectively extortion,' Habba told the Daily Mail. "Letitia James is fighting for Deutsche Bank."

James accuses the Trump Organization of artificially inflating assets to qualify for bank loans and then deflating them to qualify for tax breaks or state and local tax benefits.

Deutsche Bank was Trump's longstanding lender for a decade.

But that cozy relationship has apparently soured.

"Since Trump left office last year, the Frankfurt-based international bank — which has lent Trump far more than any other financial institution — has been steadily enforcing a 'managed exit,' as James' filing calls it, from a lucrative relationship with the former president stretching back to the 1990s."

In September, Engoron ordered that Trump and his company committed rampant fraud for years as they expanded their real estate portfolio, starred in a network television hit and launch a successful bid to win the White House.

As a result of the decision, some of the 45th president's business licenses must be rescinded as punishment, making it tough to continue functioning in New York.

For his part, Trump has claimed no wrongdoing, and charged the prosecutors with failing to fairly value his extensive properties.

Habba appeared to take stock in the potential that there may be a symbolic bookend coming for the towering Gotham fixture that is Trump.

"I don't think he'll be so sad to leave at this point," she said of Trump. "I know he has good memories of it. I just don't think the city is what it was."
