🚨BREAKING: ALINA HABBA GETS CHARGED!!!
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:36Meiselas displays the Office of Attorney Ethics complaint against Habba; these are disciplinary charges, not criminal charges.
- 2:27He examines allegations that Habba arranged Bianco's settlement while covertly serving the golf club's interests.
- 3:14Text messages reproduced in the ethics filing provide the exchanges behind Meiselas's explanation of the complaint.
- 4:30Meiselas explains how later litigation dissolved the original settlement and led to a larger payment and ethics complaint.
- 5:40He identifies representation of adverse parties as the central professional-conduct issue in his analysis.
The word "charged" needs a distinction here: MeidasTouch's report concerns attorney ethics proceedings against Alina Habba, not a criminal prosecution. Ben Meiselas puts the disciplinary complaint on screen and walks through allegations about how Donald Trump's former lawyer handled a workplace harassment settlement.
The video drew about 1.1 million views since yesterday. Its central question is whom Habba was serving when she became involved with Alice Bianco, a former server at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
Meiselas describes Bianco's account of sexual harassment, then examines the complaint's allegation that Habba helped arrange a $15,000 settlement and nondisclosure agreement while covertly serving the golf club's interests. He reviews text messages reproduced in the filing, making the exchanges between the two women part of his explanation rather than relying only on his opening announcement.
The legal issue he emphasizes is conflicting interests. "You're not allowed to concurrently represent adverse parties at the same time," Meiselas says. He also explains that the original settlement was dissolved in subsequent litigation, followed by a larger payment and a formal ethics complaint.
Although Meiselas refers to the "New Jersey Bar Association" in his introduction, the document he displays comes from the Office of Attorney Ethics of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. The distinction matters: this is a disciplinary complaint, not a finding of misconduct. Meiselas presents loss of Habba's license as a possible consequence, not an outcome already decided.
