Former American president Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, was slammed online after she compared Trump's indictment to that of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G. Habba recently appeared on the latest episode of The Benny Show podcast and spoke about Trump's indictment.

During her appearance, she asserted Trump's indictment will boast his reputation just like it did in the cases of previous celebrities who served jail time.

The 76-year-old politician's lawyer said:

"Donald Trump is Tupac. Donald Trump's Biggie Smalls, he's better than Tupac. I'm east coast, so I love Biggie."

Alina added that Trump is his own brand and that the jail time will just boost him as people have seen in the polls. She noted that it wasn't a question but that it was a fact.

After his arrest on April 4, 2023, the former US President will be taken to a courthouse in Manhattan, New York. He is accused of allegedly paying hush money to p*rn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 over an incident that took place in 2006.

It is worth noting that Trump and his team will still be contesting in the 2024 presidential elections.
