Alina Habba, attorney and counselor to President Donald Trump, bragged on Thursday about the wealth in and around the White House during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Habba said Trump is surrounded by other wealthy people who are helping him save Americans from Democratic corruption in government.
She joined Hannity to discuss Elon Musk’s ongoing work at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk has alleged in recent weeks to have unearthed massive corruption.
The Tesla CEO and Trump have gone as far as to claim the U.S. Agency for International Development has been used by Democrats to enrich themselves through various schemes.
Hannity noted that Musk has been under fire from Democrats and had offered free internet access to people from Ukraine to North Carolina following natural disasters and war in those areas.
“We have two astronauts that have been pretty much lost in space or abandoned now for nearly 300 days, and our government can’t save them,” Hannity said. “Why is it why would you hate somebody like that?” Habba claimed Musk and other wealthy Trump allies have given up their ventures to help struggling Americans:
So basically, you know, it’s very basic. Let’s – let’s think about this. In our administration, we have a tremendous amount of billionaires who are successful businessmen. And I could name them all, but we know who they are who have taken a leave, sold their companies, walked away from their lives to sacrifice, to help America be great again. There are many, many. Now, Elon’s become a target for one very simple reason, because he is cutting the funding to these politicians who have put their bureaucratic, personal, financial gain and interest above the American people.
