> Donald Trump criticised former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon for signing a contract worth more than $50 million with the family of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini while she worked at the Justice Department. Trump later pardoned Herrera. Habba Mildon denies involvement in securing the pardon, and the arrangement has prompted conflict-of-interest questions.
