Habba SCANDAL gets WORSE as $50 MILLION Contract is CANCELLED…

Two oceanfront megamansions, two contracts and two lost deposits in a single year: Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian examine the Wall Street Journal's report on Alina Habba Mildon, the former Trump lawyer and U.S. attorney, and her husband, Turhan Mildon. Citing four people familiar with the matter, the Journal reported, as relayed by The Real Deal on November 6, that the couple walked away from a $72.5 million, 17,380-square-foot oceanfront estate in Manalapan after putting down a deposit of several hundred thousand dollars and not making later payments, and from a $65 million, 14,320-square-foot house in Palm Beach, where the closing deadline passed; that home is now listed as leased at $150,000 a month. The couple's broker told the Journal they changed their minds and had the funds to buy. The hosts connect the story to Habba Mildon's $50 million contract as general counsel of Concord Partners, a company founded by the daughter of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini, whom President Trump pardoned weeks after she started on January 1. She has denied any link between her job and the pardon, and Trump called the arrangement "totally obnoxious and outrageous." After the episode was recorded, the New York Times reported that Concord fired her in a letter dated November 4 for "failure to perform duties," though she keeps the $6.5 million already paid and an $8 million signing bonus; she declined to comment. Brian questions whether the Mildons' claimed wealth is real and calls for stronger conflict-of-interest laws covering special government employees, citing Corey Lewandowski, Jared Kushner and Habba Mildon. Shant says the episode shows how out of touch Trump's circle is with ordinary Americans. Brian's bottom line: conflict-of-interest rules must be tightened quickly, because no one in government, even a special government employee, should profit from a government relationship.
