Alina Habba lost a $50 million contract tied to a family company. The former Trump lawyer signed the deal weeks before the president pardoned the family’s patriarch.
The sequence of events drew scrutiny from ethics watchdogs. The contract and the pardon occurred within a short window, raising questions about possible coordination.
Details of the contract remain limited. The family company has not publicly commented on the deal or its termination.
The pardon itself covered the family’s patriarch. It followed the contract signing by several weeks, according to records reviewed by the publication.
Habba previously served as a senior legal adviser to Trump. Her role placed her in frequent contact with the president and his inner circle.
The loss of the contract marks a significant financial setback. It also adds to broader questions about business dealings connected to presidential associates.
No official explanation has been given for the contract’s cancellation. Representatives for Habba did not respond to requests for comment.
