Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, has complained about the plethora of footage of her sitting in court with the former president, branding it a "demise of the American justice system."

Trump, who is the GOP's 2024 frontrunner for the presidential nomination, is currently facing a number of legal battles, including an election interference case, from which he has declared presidential immunity.
Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith last year charged Trump with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights in connection to the investigation.
The charges were over the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the alleged plot to submit false slates of pro-Trump electors to the Electoral College. Trump maintains his innocence and has not guilty to all charges, accusing prosecutors of targeting him for political purposes.
Trump has sought to make the case that presidential immunity would shield him from being tried for these charges, as he discussed a former president cannot be charged for official actions. Critics who doubt his argument will be successful say he was acting as a candidate, not in his official duty, when allegedly working to thwart the election results.
