Trump attorney Alina Habba in 'judge's sights' after outbursts in courtroom

Buried in a report on the troubles attorneys for Donald Trump are running into as judges slap aside their arguments in a series of blistering rulings, is a mention that one of the former president's lawyers in particular is on thin ice with both the judges she appears before and her colleagues on Trump's legal team.

With the Beast's Jose Pagliery reporting that delaying tactics employed by Trump's lawyers are being shot down as "frivolous" at best, the Beast correspondent noted that attorney Alina Habba appears the closest to being sanctioned -- not only over her time-wasting motions -- but also over her demeanor on the courtroom.

In March of last year, the Beast reported that Habba is not popular with the rest of Trump's legal team, with one confessing, "What the f--- is she doing?’ is probably the most common question we asked about her.”

The new report suggests that the lawyers working with her are also fed up with her grandstanding before the judge in an apparent attempt to catch the eye of her client who reportedly prefers his lawyers to be combative.

Sounds like she's more about pleasing her boss than doing her job the right way.

without regard to her ethical obligations to the court, her opponents, and even to Trump himself. Sometimes you’re just required to tell the client “no.”. If he can accept that, walk away.
