The former presidentās legal team requested a trial delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She attended the party one day later.
Donald Trumpās attorney, Alina Habba, was spotted rubbing elbows with Republicans in New Hampshire on Tuesday, just the day after asking for a delay in the ex-presidentās defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.
On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carrollās second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.
Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carrollās lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trumpās legal team requested a delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She was not wearing a mask during the hearing.
The next day, however, Habba was sighted celebrating Trumpās win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC Newsā Garrett Haake.
If he got elected and the trial wasnāt over, wouldnāt they try to argue that it all has to be put on hold while heās president?
They could try, but itās up to the judgeās discretion and the judge doesnāt sound like theyāll play ball on that one.
