Former President Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba pushed back Tuesday when Fox News’ Steve Doocy confronted her about the indictment in Georgia.

A grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, handed down an indictment Monday night naming Trump and 18 others in a slew of charges related to allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. Doocy said Georgia has specific laws regarding election interference and cited a New York Post piece calling the former president’s indictment the “most perilous threat” to Trump.

“We do not agree that it is a ‘perilous threat,’ because we actually have inside information, so I love when people—” Habba began on “Fox & Friends.”

“What is that information?” Doocy asked.

“Well the inside information, Steve, and you know, you used to love Trump, I got to tell you,’ she said. “I mean, this is something I’m not gonna breach. Right, I have confidentiality and I have ethics and I’m gonna continue — but I think you need to understand something. When somebody is given a report, and he has reports that show that there was interference, and you can be advised by one lawyer that says ‘Oh no, I don’t think so,’ and you can have another lawyer that says ‘I do think so, and here’s some reports.'”

Habba said she and her legal team are aware of “issues” with the election in Fulton County and so, Trump had an “obligation” to investigate the results. She further pointed to Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton calling Trump “an illegitimate president” and not facing any charges.

The 98-page indictment charged the 19 defendants with several charges that include racketeering, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiracy to commit false statements.

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley, a Georgetown law professor, told “Fox & Friends” Tuesday he finds the indictment “troubling,” arguing that challenging the results of an election is not a crime.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
