"Trump Defamation Trial: Judge's Restraint, Lawyer's Objections, and Delayed Testimony"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, has been repeatedly reprimanded by Judge Lewis Kaplan for disruptive behavior and disregarding his rulings during the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial. A former federal judge noted that Kaplan showed restraint in his scoldings, but Habba's conduct, seemingly aimed at pleasing Trump, may backfire and turn the jury against her. The trial has been marked by courtroom chaos, with Trump also being disruptive during Carroll's testimony.
