YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba demanded Monday that the judge presiding over E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against the former president provide “all of the relevant facts” related to an alleged conflict of interest he had with the advice columnist’s lead counsel.

A jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in damages from Trump last week, before The Post learned from sources that Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan was once a “mentor” to Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan (no relation), when they worked together in the early 1990s at the Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison law firm in Midtown.

“If Your Honor truly worked with Ms. Kaplan in any capacity — especially if there was a mentor/mentee relationship — that fact should have been disclosed before any case involving these parties was permitted to proceed forward,” Habba wrote in a letter to the judge.

“This issue is particularly concerning since Plaintiff’s other lead counsel, Shawn Crowley, served as Your Honor’s law clerk, and we were previously advised that Your Honor co-officiated her wedding.”
