REPORT: Judge Threatens Trump Lawyer With Jail Time During Trial
By: Daily Caller, January 25, 2024:
The judge presiding over the defamation trial brought against former President Donald Trump reportedly threatened his attorney, Alina Habba, with jail time during closing arguments Friday.
U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan told Habba she is “on the verge” of spending time in jail if she continued to talk out of order, according to Politico legal reporter Erica Orden.
“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup. Now, sit down,” Kaplan said, according to Orden.
Judge Kaplan to Alina Habba: “You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup. Now, sit down.”

This came after Madaio and Habba were arguing to include a slide showing tweets they hadn't entered as evidence.

Habba and Trump’s other attorney, Michael Madaio, reportedly argued with Kaplan about the judge’s refusal to show a slide showing Twitter posts not previously used as evidence, according to Newsweek.

Trump later stormed out of the courtroom during the closing argument from Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s attorney. The judge ordered his legal team to remain seated.
“The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom,” Kaplan said while interrupting the attorney’s closing argument.
