Trump said he objected to a reported four-year contract for his former lawyer Alina Habba Mildon, who had held Justice Department roles. The agreement was linked to the family of Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini, who received a presidential pardon; Habba Mildon denied any connection between her employment and the pardon.

Trump said Saturday that he considered the reported contract inappropriate and had told Habba Mildon he did not want her paid.
The reported agreement guaranteed more than $50 million over four years for Habba Mildon to serve as general counsel at Concord Partners.
Habba Mildon denied that the employment arrangement was connected to Herrera Velutini’s pardon; whether the contract can be ended early was unclear.
