While some defended her, suggesting she may be unaware of Tate&#8217;s problematic past, many others found her comments deeply\u200d troubling. Tate, who was arrested\u2062 in Romania two years prior on human trafficking \u200ccharges, reciprocated Habba&#8217;s admiration, calling her \u2063work\u2062 more important than his own.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Attorney Alina Habba has irked some conservatives for her gushing greeting to internet personality Andrew Tate on a Friday podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Habba defended President-elect Donald Trump through multiple trials in 2024 and has been tapped to serve as a White House counselor in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Tate, who made millions&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/06\/andrew-tates-sex-cam-girls-branded-with-owned-by-tate-tattoos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selling<\/a> violent pornography, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-police-raid-andrew-tates-home-new-allegations-emerge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has been indicted<\/a>&nbsp;on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/andrew-tate-charged-with-human-trafficking-and-rape\/\" title=\"Andrew Tate faces charges of human trafficking and rape.\">sexually exploit women<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Nice to meet you!
