Donald Trump called the contract worth more than 50 million dollars unacceptable, signed by his former personal lawyer Alina Haba Mildon with the family member of the Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velottini. According to the New York Times, the agreement is for four years and stipulates payments of $10 million per year plus bonuses. The contract is with Concord Partners, a company created by the banker's daughter. Father Mildon signed the agreement while serving as acting federal prosecutor in New Jersey and began her new contract on January 1, 2026. Two weeks later, on January 15, Trump pardoned Herrera and Lotini, who was previously convicted of bribery. The combination of dates raised questions about the nature of the legal payments. Chava Mildon denies that she received any compensation for facilitating the amnesty, and there is no confirmed connection between the contract and the president's decision. Trump's public criticism leaves open the question of the fate of the agreement and additional payments to the former lawyer.
