"Trump Lawyer's Failed Attempt to Discredit E Jean Carroll Attorney and Judge"
TL;DR
Alina Habba, attorney for Donald Trump in the E Jean Carroll defamation trial, retracted her claim that Ms Carroll’s attorney had a "mentor type relationship" with the judge overseeing the trial after being threatened with sanctions. Ms Habba had cited a New York Post article alleging a conflict of interest, but Ms Kaplan denied the claim and threatened sanctions. The judge has not responded to the letters, and the issue remains unresolved.
