Regardless of how you spin it, the takeaway here is that Trump chooses the best people. It's who he is, it's what he does.
Amazingly, these lawyers continue to sign up with Trump to only be discarded like smelly trash when he's through with them. A few go on to defend themselves in their own civil & criminal cases. wrbtrader
https://www.yahoo.com/news/roberta-kaplan-says-trump-threw-044213512.html Roberta Kaplan says Trump threw papers across table at Mar-a-Lago deposition because his legal team agreed to feed her lunch Kaanita Iyer and Jamie Gangel, CNN Fri, February 2, 2024 at 5:42 AM GMT+1·4 min read Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch. Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.” “And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’” Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams. “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch. “He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina,” she said. Kaplan continued: “He came back in and he said, ‘Well, how’d you like the lunch?’ And I said, ‘Well, sir, I had a banana. You know, I can never really eat when I’m taking testimony.’ And he said, ‘Well, I told you,’ — it was kind of charming. He said, ‘I told you, I told them to make you really bad sandwiches, but they can’t help themselves here. We have the best sandwiches.’” Kaplan was deposing Trump at Mar-Lago in a lawsuit alleging the former president was involved with a fraudulent marketing company. A federal judge dismissed the suit last month. In a separate anecdote, Kaplan detailed the end of the deposition when she was set to leave, saying that Trump told her: “See you next Tuesday” – a phrase that is often used as a derogatory euphemism directed at women. “We come in the room and I say, ‘I’m done asking questions’ and immediately I hear from the other side, ‘Off the record. Off the record. Off the record.’ So they must have planned it. And he looks at me from across the table and he says, ‘See you next Tuesday,’” she recounted. Kaplan said that she was initially confused, as their next meeting was set for a Wednesday. “You could tell it was like, it was like a kind of a joke again, like teenage boys would come up with. But again, I wasn’t in on the joke,” she said. “I wasn’t in on the joke, so I had no idea. Then we get into the car and my colleagues are like, ‘Robbie, do you know what that means?’ And I’m like, ‘No, what are you talking about?’ They tell me and I’m like, oh my God, thank God I didn’t know because had I known, I for sure would have gotten angry. There’s no question I would have gotten angry,” Kaplan said. CNN has reached out to representatives for Trump and Habba. Kaplan’s comments come a week after her victory in Carroll’s defamation trial against Trump. A jury awarded Carroll — a former magazine columnist who has alleged Trump raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s and then defamed her when he denied her claim — $83.3 million. Trump is expected to appeal the verdict. Kaplan also described last week’s verdict as a career-defining moment. When asked which feels better — winning the defamation case against Trump or her successful challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 that led to the eventual Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for same-sex marriage — Kaplan pointed to her recent victory. “I spent my whole life devoted to the principle that we have a rule of law and we have a judicial system that works,” Kaplan said. “And that’s what makes us a constitutional democracy, that’s — at least until recently — was to be admired worldwide. And it was starting, I mean, it is in times looking like that may not be true.” But, she added: “This case validated that at least as of now, we still have all that.”

I hope she's not expecting to get paid. Explosive Claim Suggests Trump's Relationship With Attorney Alina Habba Is Not So Rosy https://www.thelist.com/1508567/explosive-claim-donald-trump-alina-habba-relationship-not-so-rosy/
I am sure in the third trial for defamation the award will even higher than $83.3 Million -- after Trump lost the first two trials.

Time for the orange rapist to cough up the dough... 'That starts the clock': E. Jean Carroll judge just entered an order on Trump payment https://www.rawstory.com/trump-e-jean-carroll-judgment/ The judge in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case has taken a step that puts former President Donald Trump on a timer to post bond for the damages, reported MSNBC legal commentator Lisa Rubin on Thursday. Carroll sued former President Donald Trump after he called her allegation he raped her in a Manhattan department store a lie, claimed he had no idea who she was, and said she was making it up to sell books. A jury awarded her $83.3 million in the case, which was presided over by Judge Lewis Kaplan. "Judge Kaplan has at least entered judgment in the second Carroll trial," wrote Rubin on X. "That starts the clock for Trump's post-trial motions and for him to post a bond." "Specifically, federal rules governing civil cases stay a plaintiff's execution on a judgment for 30 days after the entry of judgment, which effectively means he has 30 days to provide a bond or other security to lengthen that stay pending an appeal," Rubin continued. "Trump also has 28 days after the entry of judgment to move for a new trial or to 'alter or amend' the judgment." The judgment affirms the award the jury said Carroll deserves. All of this comes as Judge Arthur Engoron is still yet to rule on another civil case against Trump: the fraud allegations brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. In that case, James is seeking $370 million in fines and the dissolution of the Trump Organization in all of New York.
