Counselor to President Trump Alina Habba criticized Democrats for their persistent attempts to obstruct President Donald Trump.
During an interview on “America Reports,” Habba spoke with co-host John Roberts and Sandra Smith about the president’s first month back in the White House and what to expect as his first 100 days in office nears.
Habba spoke about the Trump administration’s creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the group’s efforts to locate waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending over the years. Habba joked that if Democrats are this upset now, wait until more of the “fraud” gets exposed.
Below is a transcript of Habba’s exchange on Fox News:
ROBERTS: “We appreciate it. So, a lot of criticism coming from the Democratic side of the aisle, not surprisingly. Most vociferously from the Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, who said this. Listen here.”

Schumer: “This decision is lawless, dangerous, destructive, cruel. It’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional. I spoke to my attorney general this morning. She’s head of the state attorneys general association. They’re going to court right away.”
[Clip ends]
ROBERTS: “So, what do you say to Senator Schumer?”
HABBA: “A couple things, first, Chuck. Your Attorney General is not the Attorney General. We have an attorney general, that will be Pam Bondi. And what your opinion is on what the law is doesn’t really matter. It’s what the White House counsel says and what our Attorney General of the United States says. We were told that what we have have done is cut spending. Look at what President Trump has done with DOGE. He has cut so much money and then brought in trillions of dollars into America and people from overseas reinvesting in this America because the last administration was so weak and was so frivolous with how they spent their money, having DEI funding for things like that, transgender transitions, people influencing my children, I’m not OK with. That’s illegal and unconstitutional. So, you know, Chuck can check his attitude at the door, but I’m not really surprised by him. You know, this is the narrative we’re going to hear. We all know it. And that’s why people watch this show, because they want to hear what the truth is out of the White House, which is that we are examining everything, taking a look at where money is going, how it is being spent so that we can be responsible with taxpayer money, something the last administration frankly didn’t care about.”
Smith: “Alina, great to have you back on the program and good to see you there at the White House.”
HABBA: “Good to see you.”
