"Trump Lawyer's Claims Against Judge in E. Jean Carroll Case Deemed 'Utterly Baseless' by Attorney"
TL;DR
E. Jean Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, refuted claims of a conflict of interest against the judge who oversaw the defamation case against Donald Trump, stating that the accusations were baseless and false. Kaplan denied having a mentor-mentee relationship with the judge during their time at the same law firm in the 1990s and suggested that sanctions be issued against Trump's lawyer for promoting the allegations. Following a $83 million verdict in Carroll's favor, Trump criticized the outcome, while Carroll joked about using the awarded cash for a new wardrobe.
