Following the hefty $83.3 million verdict, Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, announced to the press that the Trump team will immediately appeal the ruling.
While talking to reporters outside of a New York courtroom on Friday, Habba emphasized that she is proud to represent the former president, but also mentioned that she will not stand for what transpired behind the closed door courtroom.
“I so am proud to stand with President Trump,” she said. “But I am not proud to stand with what I saw in that courtroom.”
“We will immediately appeal,” Habba said. “We will set aside that ridiculous jury.”
While speaking to reporters, Habba further stated that the trial was “unfair” from the start, as Trump’s legal team was denied most of its requests.
“Before I walked into court, that judge decided that every single defense that President Trump had, we were not allowed to raise in front of the jury. It is in writing and I encourage the real journalists to take the minute to look at his orders,” Habba stated. “There was no proof, and I couldn’t prove that she didn’t bring in the dress, there was no DNA, there were no experts. My experts were denied. Two of them were denied to come in.”
“They didn’t let me bring up that Reid Hoffman (billionaire co-LinkedIn founder) funded Ms. Kaplan (Carroll’s lawyer). And you know what we got in there? That my witness, who was her friend, who said that she is a drug addict and the drug addict is herself. That friend, I found out in there, was paid for by Ms. Kaplan’s firm. That is disgusting, that is a violation of everything I stand for, and that is why I stand with Trump,” she said.
“Don’t get it twisted. We are seeing a violation of our justice system, ladies and gentleman,” she said. “You are not allowed to be stripped of every defense that you have.”
“I am proud to stand with President Trump because he showed up. He stood up, he took the stand, and he faced this judge. And you know what? I’ll continue to do so with him.”
On Friday, the New York jury ruled that the 45th president must pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and an additional $65 million in punitive damages to Carroll for “defamatory public statements” that he made about her in 2019.

What are Alina Habba’s criticisms about the trial and why does she believe it was unfair?
Following a recent ruling that ordered former President Donald Trump to pay a hefty $83.3 million in damages, his lawyer, Alina Habba, announced that they will immediately appeal the verdict. The ruling came as a result of defamatory public statements made by Trump about E. Jean Carroll in 2019.
Speaking to reporters outside a New York courtroom on Friday, Habba expressed pride in representing the former president but also voiced her discontent with the proceedings that took place behind closed doors. She stated, “I am proud to stand with President Trump, but I am not proud to stand with what I saw in that courtroom.”
Habba further emphasized that the trial was unfair from the start, as Trump’s legal team was denied most of their requests. She described the judge’s decision to exclude every single defense raised by President Trump in front of the jury. She urged journalists to review the judge’s orders, emphasizing that there was no proof to support the allegations and no allowance for the presentation of experts or vital evidence.
Additionally, Habba revealed that she was not allowed to bring up the fact that Ms. Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, was funded by Reid Hoffman, a billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn. Habba also highlighted the unethical practice of Ms. Kaplan’s firm paying a witness, who happened to be a friend of Carroll, to testify against her. This revelation further fueled Habba’s belief that there were violations of the justice system and a stripping away of every defense available to Trump.
Despite these challenges, Habba stated that she is proud to stand with President Trump because he showed up, took the stand, and faced the judge. She declared her determination to continue standing with him in this legal battle.
The New York jury ruling stated that President Trump must pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and an additional $65 million in punitive damages to Carroll for his defamatory public statements. The ruling has prompted immediate plans for an appeal.
In conclusion, Alina Habba, representing Donald Trump, has expressed her intention to appeal the recent ruling. She criticized the trial’s fairness, citing the exclusion of important evidence and the denial of key requests from Trump’s legal team. Habba remains determined to stand by President Trump and fight against what she perceives as violations of the justice system.
