Donald Trump is seeking a new law firm after being ordered to pay $83.3m for defamation to writer E Jean Carroll.
He criticized the judge and expressed the need for vital evidence in his defense.
His attorney faced criticism and was seemingly removed from the legal team.
“I am in the process, along with my team, of interviewing various law firms to represent me in an Appeal of one of the most ridiculous and unfair Witch Hunts our Country has ever seen – The defamation Sham presided over by a Clinton appointed, highly partisan, Trump Hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who was, together with certain other Radical Left Democrat Judges, one of the most partisan and out of control activists that I have ever appeared before,” Trump wrote.
Kaplan is a “bully” who “demanded two trials, rather than one, denied me Due Process, would not allow me to put forth vital evidence (of which there was much!), and only allowed me to be on the witness stand for minutes, telling my lawyer what to ask, and telling me to only give one-word answers, as his wife and friends sat in cordoned off front row seats watching with glee,” Trump said.
The post came after Carroll’s attorney threatened sanctions against Trump’s attorney for a claim about the judge.
“This entire HOAX is a disgrace to our American System of Justice,” Trump later wrote. “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY’, or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. I will make my decision soon!”
“This is far from over. We are just getting started. #MAGA #TrumpDerangementSyndrome,” Habba wrote.
“Guess not, Alina!” progressive Brian Tyler Cohen wrote.
“Why a new law firm? Alina Habba said she was just getting started,” MeidasTouch said.
