On Alina Habba and a pardon for Julio Herrera: “It's one thing for a person to get paid legal fees or whatever. She's a lawyer. I thought it was totally obnoxious and outrageous, and it's not acceptable.”

Asked if he expects her to make a donation to the library, he said: "No, not her. I expect maybe the people. I don't know if anybody wants to make it, but it's unacceptable what she did.”
