Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, requested a delay in the defamation trial against the former president due to illness, citing COVID exposure and a fever.
However, she was seen celebrating Trump’s victory in the New Hampshire primary the next day.
While some speculated that Habba may have been dishonest about her illness, NBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin suggested that another individual involved in the trial may have COVID, potentially justifying the delay.
“Just arrived at President Trump’s NH primary victory party and ran into the wonderful Alina Habba,” former Trump aide Dylan Quattrucci wrote on X. “Alina is President Trump’s rockstar attorney & a huge inspiration of mine!”
“I am not insinuating Habba lied. At all. I take her at her word,” legal analyst Lisa Rubin wrote.
“She said she had been exposed and was feeling feverish over the weekend; she also represented on Monday that she tested negative that morning,” she said.
“What I am suggesting, however is that *someone else* who has been a regular courtroom presence has COVID, without which there would be little reason for a three-day delay,” Rubin wrote.
The trial is scheduled to resume on Thursday.
