The former president’s legal team requested a trial delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She attended the party one day later.
Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, was spotted rubbing elbows with Republicans in New Hampshire on Tuesday, just the day after asking for a delay in the ex-president’s defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.
On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.
Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trump’s legal team requested a delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She was not wearing a mask during the hearing.
The next day, however, Habba was sighted celebrating Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC News’ Garrett Haake.
Furthermore, I am not sure that I really want random State judges determining what counts as insurrection. We already have Greg Abbott claiming that Texas is being actively invaded and the Federal Government is doing nothing about it. If Trump is thrown off the ballot because of the 14th Amendment, I have no doubt that some Texas judge will proclaim Biden as the leader of the Invasion of Texas and throw him off rhe ballot as well…
… which might be the outcome all of us Lemmings have wanted all along, but not quite like this.
