In reply to the discussion: Screen shots of Trump and the judge at the exact same time. [View all]ancianita
(43,348 posts)57. I believe it's Alina Habba.
...
In 2019, Habba joined the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, an eight-minute drive from her law firm.[2][17][19] There, she and Donald Trump got acquainted.[2][19] Habba had never done legal work for Trump when, in September 2021,[9] he hired her as part of his legal team,[17] replacing several well-established lawyers who had worked for Trump for many years but had withdrawn their services, including: Marc Kasowitz, Charles Harder, Marc Saroff Mukasey, Jay Sekulow, and Lawrence S. Rosen.[13][20]
Quickly after her hiring, Habba made headlines by filing a $100 million lawsuit on Trump's behalf against the New York Times, three Times reporters, and Trump's niece, Mary L. Trump.[9] Habba also worked on Trump's behalf when he was sued for defamation by Summer Zervos. Trump had called Zervos a "liar" in 2017, after she accused him of kissing her and groping her, without her consent, when she was a contestant on Trump's reality TV show, The Apprentice. In October 2021, Habba filed Trump's countersuit against Zervos, claiming she was trying to stifle Trump's right to free speech. Shortly thereafter, in November 2021, Zervos dismissed the lawsuit. [21]
Habba represented Trump in a legal case where he was being investigated for falsely representing the value of his assets on his New York State income tax returns.[22] She attempted to appeal a court order requiring Trump and his children to give sworn testimony about the valuations they signed for when filing those returns, but her appeals were unsuccessful. New York's Attorney General, Letitia James, personally questioned Trump on August 10, 2022. Habba was present during the deposition and led the defense. Trump refused to answer any questions during the four-hour deposition by citing the United States Constitution's Fifth Amendment over 450 times.[23][24]...
In 2022, Trump's Save America political action committee paid Habba's firm almost $2 million in legal fees.[37]....

That is Dump looking defeated, angry, helpless, and scared. Why more could you ask for?
