Former President Trump suggested late Tuesday night he may be shopping for new lawyers to represent him in an imminent appeal of the damages verdict in the case brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll.
A New York City jury last week ordered Trump to pay Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her in 2019, when he denied the longtime advice columnist’s accusation that he sexually assaulted her decades earlier.
It’s not uncommon to seek different representation when handling an appeal, and the post doesn’t make clear that Habba was removed from the case or Trump’s broader legal team.
Habba and U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the case, repeatedly butted heads throughout the trial.
In another exchange, Kaplan threatened to send Habba to jail after she interrupted him to make record of her argument over a slide presentation.
Trump also berated the judge in his Tuesday night Truth Social post, calling him a “Clinton appointed, highly partisan, Trump Hating Judge” and “one of the most partisan and out of control activists that I have ever appeared before.”
Ok, so typically when you do an appeal you don’t use the same lawyer. So while I get that this is “news”… maybe we can focus our attention somewhere else?
