Alina Habba, an attorney who has represented Trump in this case and made frequent appearances on right-wing television defending the former president, joins a long list of attorneys Trump has replaced.

"According to court documents filed on Tuesday, veteran New York lawyer Joe Tacopina has been brought in to work with the former president to fight the suit filed against him by the former Elle columnist," reported Ewan Palmer. "Carroll is suing Trump for sexual battery over allegations he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York in the 1990s. She is also suing the former president for defamation for comments he made while denying the assault, including stating 'she's not my type.'"

Notably, Trump appeared to contradict this defense in a recent deposition, when he mistook an image of a young Carroll for his second wife, Marla Maples — forcing Habba to step in and correct him.

Habba, who previously rose to right-wing legal stardom by representing a college student trying to overturn COVID-19 emergency measures, and then got involved in cases seeking to overturn the 2020 election, developed a reputation for her confrontational approach, that led even many officials in Trump's circle to grow tired of her. A Florida judge recently slapped her with sanctions for advancing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and several Justice Department and FBI officials in the 2016 election.

That lawsuit had sought $250 million in damages for what Trump described as a scheme to invent fake Russia allegations against him and damage his reputation. The Mueller report in fact documented that Russian interference on behalf of Trump did happen, repeatedly.

Habba is one of a long line of lawyers who once defended Trump to be replaced. Some, like Michael Cohen, even went to prison over their activities on Trump's behalf. Cohen has since begun cooperating with Manhattan prosecutors in a hush payment case against his former boss.

I hope that the new attorney got a very large retainer

1. Tish James has also asked for Trump lawyers...

to be sanctioned for lying. Lawyers of lawyers need lawyers. lol

2. The sanctions in that case, which were nearly *$1,000,000* also extended to Trump...

I don't know what the split is among them. (I think there are also other attorneys involved.)

Perhaps it's just as well. With another outcome like that, she might be living in her car. I think she was also representing him in his lawsuit against Leticia James personally, which was before the same judge from the Clinton suit. They withdrew that suit shortly after the gavel came down on the first one.

I'm sure Trump just loved her in-their-face routine, until it landed on his.

4. More popcorn, please. I hope every attorney fool enough to work for Trump ends up regretting it...

…heartily.

5. Given that tfg and Habba et al. are joint and severally liable, wouldn't it be funny if Habba finds

herself having to sue tfg for contribution, because tfg has a nasty habit of not paying his obligations.

7. As my hometown stoners, The Burner Brothers, would say!

"Hey, man, that would be EXPERT!

[moniss]

6. Obviously some more legal

bills that will go unpaid.

8. How in the hell is he still finding lawyers???

His last lawyer got fined a million dollars for pushing his bullshit! And someone else signed on to carry that torch??? Who in their right mind would do that???

Hope Habba is happy she helped him push lies, got Sanctioned, and is now holding the bag! She’s a scumbag and deserves to suffer for trying to get famous by abandoning her ethics.

9. They're all just cannon fodder now.

10. LOL, is the main reason Donny fired her because she dared to correct him?
