Trump Lawyer's Attempt to Discredit Judge Fizzles Out
TL;DR
Alina Habba, a lawyer for Donald Trump, initially attempted to discredit the judge in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case by claiming a conflict of interest due to the judge's past connection with one of Carroll's attorneys at the same law firm. However, the claim was quickly refuted by the attorney, Roberta Kaplan, who called the allegations "utterly baseless." Habba subsequently retracted the claims, stating that her filing was simply meant to inquire about the validity of the reporting.
