Former President Trump's legal representative, Alina Habba, firmly dismissed the notion of a plea agreement in the classified documents case during an appearance on 'Fox News Sunday.' She emphasized that such a deal would constitute an "admission of guilt," which is unacceptable given Trump's insistence of innocence.
Habba reiterated Trump's position that he "did nothing wrong" and highlighted the perceived "dual-tier system of justice" in the handling of the Trump family versus the Biden family. She argued that accepting a plea deal would play into the hands of those she believes are politically motivated.
The indictment against Trump includes 37 federal counts, encompassing willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. These charges arise from Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation, which followed the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

The indictment alleges that Trump, during his presidency, possessed legitimate access to highly sensitive classified documents and national defense information. Habba countered this by referencing the Presidential Records Act, asserting Trump's right to possess declassified documents and highlighting the distinction between his situation and those of Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
Addressing the potential consequences of a guilty verdict, Habba downplayed the possibility of significant jail time, emphasizing the political nature of the charges and Trump's defense strategy. She expressed confidence in the legal team's ability to navigate the complexities of the case.

Trump himself publicly addressed the indictment on social media, drawing comparisons to the handling of documents by Joe Biden and criticizing the perceived "Boxes Hoax." He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Miami.
Habba and other critics continue to emphasize the Presidential Records Act and Trump's declassification authority as key elements of his defense, questioning the legitimacy of the charges against him.
