YouTube Description
as posted by the channelE. Jean Carroll’s lawyer on Tuesday blasted as “utterly baseless” a claim that the judge who oversaw the defamation battle between her client and Donald Trump had a conflict of interest.
Roberta Kaplan — the lead attorney who helped clinch a whopping $83 million verdict for Carroll last week — fired back at a “false” accusation that Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan (no relation) was like a “mentor” to her when they worked at law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison at the same time in the 1990s.
“I have no recollection from that time period of ever interacting with Your Honor on a case, participating with Your Honor in a client or case-related meeting, or attending a court proceeding with Your Honor,” Kaplan wrote in a letter to the judge.
The 57-year-old attorney said she and Judge Kaplan, 79, did overlap at the white-shoe firm, but for “less than two years,” and she couldn’t recall any “direct interaction” with him during that period.
“Needless to say, at no point have we ever had a ‘mentor’ type relationship,” the letter said.
