Pool File via AP Alina Habba Mildon laughed off the possibility of giving some of her fees from an alleged $50 million pardon deal to President Donald Trump’s library before going back and refusing to comment. CBS News reached out to Mildon for a new report on Trump’s focus on his presidential library and construction projects following Democrats taking majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections. Mildon, a former personal lawyer for the president, was asked about a New York Times report that suggested Trump has told aides that Mildon should donate some or all of a $50 million fee she reportedly received from a Venezuelan businessman Trump pardoned in January. “Asked by CBS News whether she planned to donate some of her fees to the library, Habba Mildon responded to the text message with a ‘haha’ reaction. (She removed the reaction seconds later and declined to comment),” the CBS report reads. Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan-Italian businessman, had struck a plea deal in August 2025 after being accused of attempting to bribe the governor of Puerto Rico in 2022. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor campaign finance violation, and was later pardoned by Trump. The pardon reportedly came after Mildon was hired to work for a previously registered law firm. She was given “$10 million a year for four years along with a range of bonuses. In total, including bonuses, she was guaranteed more than $50 million over four years,” according to The Times. Trump recently lashed out at his former lawyer over reports of the massive payment. “I thought it was terrible,” Trump told reporters earlier this month. “I told her, I said, ‘I don’t want her paid.’ We had somebody speak to the people that did it, and she used her relationship to do that. And it was far too much. You know, it’s one thing for a person to get paid legal fees or whatever — she’s a lawyer. I thought it was a totally obnoxious and outrageous and it’s not acceptable. Not acceptable, at all.”The post Alina Habba Mildon Laughs at Reporter’s Inquiry About Whether She’d Donate Profits From Alleged $50M Pardon Deal to Trump Library first appeared on Mediaite.

MS NOW anchor Katy Tur revealed that she had to stop herself from “throwing up” while covering Donald Trump’s 2016 election night victory party, as she celebrated the Democrats’ sweeping midterm triumph and compared it to the shock of his first presidential win. Speaking on The Moment on Wednesday, Tur recalled standing inside a ballroom in Manhattan over a decade ago as Fox News declared the Republican businessman the winner over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. “Ten years ago, almost to the day, I was standing on a press riser in the middle of a ballroom in midtown Manhattan, trying to stop myself from throwing up,” Tur said. Behind her, she recalled, two TV screens were broadcasting Fox News as Trump prepared to address supporters from a stage decorated with American flags and MAGA hats. “The world was tossed upside down, along with my stomach,” she said. Tur, who covered Trump’s 2016 campaign for NBC News and followed him on the campaign trail for over 500 days, recalled the hostility she encountered at his rallies, including supporters calling her “a liar” and men wearing shirts emblazoned with “Hillary Sucks, But Not Like Monica.” “The celebration of indecency,” she said. “It was unbelievable and has been for 11 long years – until last night.” Her remarks came after Democrats seized control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s midterms, flipping at least seven Republican-held Senate seats and more than two dozen House districts while capturing some key governorships. “The Democratic revolt last night felt just as big as Donald Trump’s win back then. Just as shattering, just as unbelievable,” she said. Pointing to a Washington Post map showing electoral shifts toward Democrats nationwide, Tur concluded: “The American people in Texas, in Kansas, in South Carolina, in Iowa saying together that they are done.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post MS NOW’s Katy Tur — While Celebrating Democratic Wins — Reveals ‘I Was Trying to Stop Myself From Throwing Up’ at Trump’s 2016 Victory Party first appeared on Mediaite.
