It's May 1st. This is Entertainment in Celebrity News today, your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. Alina Habba, Trump's former 42-year-old counselor, sparked a fiery clash on the view by backing the push to prosecute XFBI director James. Comey over a cryptic Instagram post. Comey arranged C-shells to spell out 8647 back in May of 2025, which some saw as code-wishing Trump the 47th, President Gone. She deleted it quick and said sorry amid backlash. Habba echoed Trump's take, claiming 866 means killed a president, but whole sunny Austin, a 57-year-old lawyer, shut that down fast. She noted the dictionary defines 866 as slang for throwout or get rid of, straight from old soda shoplingo. Still, Habba doubled down, saying an FBI bigwig like Comey has to face real accountability to avoid inciting trouble. The audience grown loud when Habba slammed special prosecutor Jack Smith and New York AG Latisha, James for their Trump cases, insisting the DOJ only, Chase's legit targets
now. Austin fired back about Trump labeling Dems seditious and deathworthy last fall, but Habba claimed she missed that one and nobody should stir. Violence anyway. Earlier cases, Trump pushed against Comey for old rush-a-gay lies, and James from mortgage issues got tossed in November. The judge ruled the prosecutor he picked, Lindsey Halligan, wasn't legally appointed. Trump tried using the Justice Department to hit political foes. Acting A.G. Todd Blanche insists the fresh Comey indictment over those seashells is straight justice, not politics at all. This views showdown highlights how these fights keep boiling over from past grudges into today's legal battles.
