Alina Habba's Failed Attempt to Discredit E. Jean Carroll's Claims

Alina Habba, the attorney representing Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll defamation cases, retracted her comments about a potential conflict of interest after a threat of sanctions from Carroll's lead attorney, Roberta Kaplan. This comes after Carroll won two civil defamation cases against Trump, with a jury ordering him to pay $83.3 million in damages. Habba had questioned a potential conflict of interest between Carroll's lead attorney and the judge presiding over the case, but later clarified that her earlier letter contained no allegations and that the matter had seemingly been resolved.
