TONIGHT: President Donald Trump said ⁠on Saturday it was "unacceptable" for one of his former lawyers, Alina Habba Mildon, to secure a $50 million contract for herself while working at ‌the US Department of Justice.

"I ‌thought it was totally obnoxious and outrageous, and it's not acceptable," Trump ⁠told reporters ⁠at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. "Not acceptable at all."

The New York Times reported last week that the family of Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan banker facing US felony bribery charges before striking a plea deal in August 2025, guaranteed Habba Mildon more than $50 million over four years. The deal, according ⁠to the ⁠newspaper, would pay $10 million ⁠a year plus bonuses.

Trump said he told Habba Mildon he did not want her to be paid and called ⁠the episode "terrible."
