A lawyer for Donald Trump on Tuesday backed off her suggestion that the judge who oversaw E. Jean Carroll's two successful civil defamation trials against the former U.S. president might have had a conflict of interest.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said she was satisfied that the judge and Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan, who is not related, did not have a "mentor-mentee relationship" when they worked at the same law firm three decades ago....
"The point of my January 29 letter was to verify whether the information contained in the New York Post article is accurate," she wrote. "Since Ms. Kaplan has now denied that there was ever a mentor-mentee relationship between herself and Your Honor, this issue has seemingly been resolved."

You’re a poor reader. Newsweek quoted, word for word, President Trump’s own Truth Social post that he was seeking new counsel. Do you not follow Trump on Truth Social? Not much of a supporter if you don’t.
Oooh, I see Iβve triggered the whine in you, TDS/NT!
Not a tough thing to do.

It's a problem. But he's still way better than any Democrat.
Like I said, I don’t recall exactly what was in assertion in that post (regarding what the judge disallowed from the prosecution) but I recall whatever it was, it was presented as a bone thrown to the court of public opinion to show “impartiality” to a gullible public eye, but was done deliberately to allow the suppression of those tweets from Carroll.
Alina Habba could get a speeding ticket pleaded down to manslaughter
“Kind of a bad quality in a chief executive, donβt you think?”
On team Haley now? Kind of dense to think that there aren’t hundreds of bad hires in government and lawyers in any administration. Finding a prefect lawyer or government employee (includes congress) would take decades. They are all corrupt or become corrupted and are mostly useless. LOL

Thanks
Please name me five good Trump hires.
After you name me five good hires in any administration before Trump. TDS much?
Here’s the difference. Trump trashes his own hires after the fact. Clearly the man is incapable of assembling a staff.
Peace in the Middle East, no wars , a true noble peace prize nomination, secure border, energy independence, fought the establishment, and the best economy in decades. Yeah he canβt get anything done. He was one of the best presidents in decades as far as accomplishments. If you hate Trump that much just vote for Biden and rage quit Freerepublic.
Steve Bannon. Ben Carson. Sarah Sanders Huckabee. Sonny Perdue. Scott Pruitt.
