Alina Habba, a lawyer who represents Donald Trump, allegedly called New York Attorney General Letitia James a "Black b***h."
The claim was made in a lawsuit alleging discrimination that was filed against Habba and her firm, Habba Madaio & Associates, by Na'syia Drayton, a Black woman who worked there as a legal assistant until recently. It was filed Middlesex County, New Jersey, on Tuesday, online records show.
Habba, has represented Trump in a number of lawsuits, has attacked James, calling her a "sick person" for her investigation into Trump's business practices.
The lawsuit alleges that Habba's behavior created a hostile work environment for Drayton, including through Habba's tendency to repeatedly sing the n-word while blasting hip-hop music in the office.
In statement to Newsweek, Habba said: "Na'Syia is someone we love and care about and have for years. Na'Syia had never made a single complaint to anyone until she had decided to quit and ask for an exorbitant amount of money in return. I am disappointed by this lawsuit and the allegations which are simply not true."
The lawsuit highlighted an incident from April when Habba allegedly became enraged after learning she had lost a legal argument to James, who is Black.
That month, a judge in Manhattan had ordered Trump to fully respond to a subpoena from James and pay a $10,000 daily fine per day until the court's requirements were met.
NEWSWEEK SUBSCRIPTION OFFERS > The lawsuit alleged that after learning of her defeat, Habba emerged from her office and yelled, "I hate that Black b***h!" She then "began parading around the office seething" about the judge, the lawsuit claims.
Drayton was "appalled about the racist remarks" and "felt astonished" that her supervisor "felt comfortable and entitled to make such statements" in the workplace and in her presence.
