Trump ‘yelled at Alina Habba, threw papers across a table and left a statement at Mar-a-Lago after his legal team bought E. Jean Carroll’s lawyers lunch’

E. Jean Carroll’s attorney says President Donald Trump threw papers across the table and walked out of a statement at Mar-a-Lago after hearing his lawyers agreed to take her to lunch.

Roberta Kaplan also said he yelled at Alina Habba, the firebrand lawyer who defended him in his New York cases, for being accommodating to the legal team of the columnist who accused him of rape.

Last week, Kaplan scored another legal victory over the Republican presidential candidate when a jury ordered him to pay Carroll $83.3 million in defamation damages.

The case centered on Trump, 77, who called Carroll a liar and insisted he never met her after claiming he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.

In an episode of the podcast George Conway Explains It All (to Sarah Longwell), recorded Thursday, Kaplan told longtime Trump critic Conway that she had rejected the former president’s request to work through the lunch break and that this confused him.

“And then you could see the wheel turning in his brain. You could almost see it,” Kaplan said. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here at Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to have lunch?’

Trump reportedly yelled at his attorney Alina Habba for offering lunch to opposing counsel during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago

While Trump wanted to work through lunch and viewed the statement as a “waste of time,” Kaplan said she told Trump his lawyers had “graciously offered” to provide her team with lunch.

‘At that moment there was a huge pile of documents and evidence in front of him, and he grabbed the pile and just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan said.

Trump then yelled at Habba for offering lunch for his opponents, Kaplan added.

“That’s why he really yelled at Alina. He was so mad at Alina,” Kaplan said. DailyMail.com has contacted Habba for comment.

At the end of the statement, Kaplan recalled another bizarre interaction with the former president, when he said, “See you next Tuesday,” which as an acronym is a derogatory term for women.

Kaplan said the comment appeared planned. She had come back into the room and said she was done asking questions. The other side said ‘off the record’ and then ‘Trump looks at me from across the table and says, ‘See you next Tuesday.’

Kaplan recalled being confused at first because their next meeting was Wednesday. She said it was a joke “like teenage boys would make up.”

‘I wasn’t in on the joke, so I had no idea. Then we get in the car and my colleagues say, “Robbie, do you know what that means?” And I said, “No, what are you talking about?” They tell me and I think, oh my God, thank God I didn’t know, because if I had known, I definitely would have gotten angry.”

Kaplan was at Mar-a-Lago to depose the Republican Party’s presidential nominee in a lawsuit alleging the former president was involved in a fraudulent marketing company. A federal judge dismissed the case last month.

But last week, Kaplan scored a legal victory over Trump when a jury ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll as much as $83.3 million for defamation after he denied raping her in a department store in 1996. The amount was three times what Carroll’s own lawyers had requested. for.

Trump, 77, insists he has never met Carroll, has consistently said she wasn’t his type and has described the lawsuit as a “witch hunt” and “election interference”

In this courtroom sketch, Roberta Kaplan, attorney for E. Jean Carroll, gives her brief to the jury in Manhattan federal court as former President Donald Trump, far left, and E. Jean Carroll, far right, listen.

Kaplan described the judgment on the podcast, calling it a career-defining moment.

‘“I have dedicated my entire life to the principle that we have the rule of law and that we have a legal system that works,” Kaplan said. ‘And that makes us a constitutional democracy, which – at least until recently – could be admired worldwide. And it started, I mean, in a while it seems like that might not be true.”

She said the case confirmed they still have that “at least as of now.” Trump has promised to appeal the decision.
