President Trump publicly criticised his former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon on Saturday at his Florida club. He was angry because she had agreed to a $50 million deal with a wealthy Venezuelan family. The family wants a presidential pardon, and Mildon was hired to help them get one. Trump called the arrangement "totally obnoxious and outrageous" after reading about it in the New York Times. He told aides that Mildon should give some of the money to his future presidential library. He later said he did not necessarily expect a donation, but thought someone should make one. Trump made these comments to reporters at a Halloween event in Palm Beach.
