Alina Habba, a former lawyer for President Trump, lost a $50 million contract with a family company, according to The New York Times. The Times reported that Habba had signed the contract with the company weeks before the president gave the company's patriarch a pardon. The Times headline describes the contract as one that "enraged Trump," but the summary available for this report does not detail the basis for that description.
A separate report from The Hill said Habba Mildon, whom it described as a former attorney for Trump, had reportedly been fired from a multi-million-dollar contract. The Hill reported that the contract was terminated by Concord Partners, a Florida-based company established by the daughter of Venezuelan billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini. The Hill said the company is tied to a billionaire banker who recently received a presidential pardon.
The two outlets differ on the former lawyer's name. The Times refers to Habba, while The Hill uses Habba Mildon. The Hill's headline links the termination to criticism from Trump, a framing that its summary does not elaborate on.
Both reports connect the contract to the pardon, but they describe the connection differently. The Times said the contract was signed weeks before the pardon was granted. The Hill said the company is tied to the pardoned banker through its founder's family, as described in its summary.
Neither summary states the reason the company ended the contract. The Hill's summary also breaks off before giving the date of the termination. The Times article, by Tyler Pager, was published on November 10, 2026, and The Hill article, by Finya Swai, was published on November 11, 2026.
