The former president’s legal team requested a trial delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She attended the party one day later.

Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, was spotted rubbing elbows with Republicans in New Hampshire on Tuesday, just the day after asking for a delay in the ex-president’s defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.

On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.

Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trump’s legal team requested a delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She was not wearing a mask during the hearing.

The next day, however, Habba was sighted celebrating Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC News’ Garrett Haake.

    And what will the consequences be? Nothing.

      Let’s hope for the best case scenario: she actually did have covid and spread the virus to other totalitarian ghouls

        This isn’t 2021 or even 2020. Catching covid right now is no longer a big deal, especially that you have access to the best doctors.

          COVID is still a big deal. People are still getting sick and dying. In the US, it’s still claiming about 1,500 lives weekly.

          Long COVID significantly affects the quality of life for many.

          The best doctor can only advocate for the best treatment. Your continued good health is dependent on your vigilance.

          If we were talking about the normal populace, sure. But we’re taking about an aged and under-vaccinated group.

              As opposed to people who prefer cancer drugs?

              That’s about an equally flippant, equally bullshit response. Ivermectin isn’t just “horse dewormer”, it’s a pretty broad and widely used anti-parasitic, which when it was discovered in the 70s was referred to as a “wonder drug from Japan” because it works in a wide variety of mammal species (including humans, often being used to treat scabies or intestinal worms) against a wide variety of parasites.

              Right wing idiots spread the idea that an anti-parasitic is an appropriate treatment for a viral infection, but that doesn’t change that you should respect the fucking drug and all the good it has done in the last half century.

                Settle down Beavis. Pretty sure he was mocking the people, not the drug itself

                Context: you’re reading a thread about Covid. Ivermectin is not a cure for Covid. Nothing else you said is relevant.

        Probably some hoping to gain fame by a big case. The Kardashians only became popular because of the OJ trial.

      Seems like contempt and a large fine would be in order… Which has already happened to Trump lawyers in recent history

      Maybe, but just maybe she kills a bunch of Republicans with COVID. A net positive for society if that happened.
