Trump Lawyer Unleashes After Judge Yells at Her: ‘I’m Not Going to Tolerate It’
In a fiery exchange during the civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump, Trump attorney Alina Habba stood up to the Manhattan judge presiding over the trial. The judge, Supreme Court Justice Arthor Engoron, became visibly frustrated with Trump’s lengthy answers to questions from the New York Attorney General’s office. Habba boldly told the judge that if he wanted better answers, he should ask more specific questions. The judge shouted at her to sit down, prompting Trump to comment on the unfairness of the trial. Habba later spoke to reporters, expressing her refusal to tolerate the judge’s behavior.

Habba accused the judge of having a clear issue with facts that are unfavorable to the case, suggesting that he doesn’t want the full truth to come out. She argued that corruption in courtrooms must be stopped, emphasizing that it transcends political affiliations. The judge had previously ruled by summary judgment that Trump and his company committed fraud, and the trial is now focused on determining the penalties. New York Attorney General Letitia James seeks $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump and his company doing business in New York.
Trump was pleased with the judge’s comments indicating that the statute of limitations had expired on many of the charges. He believed that this meant about 80 percent of the case was over. Trump’s attorney, Clifford Robert, further explained that all transactions prior to 2014 were now out of the case based on the judge’s remarks. An appeals court had previously set the statute of limitations for the case at 2014.
Despite the ongoing trial, Trump maintained that there is no case and no victims, arguing that everyone involved had been paid. He criticized Letitia James, calling her a disgrace to the country and the state of New York, and suggested that she should focus on addressing violent crimes and murder in the state.
Overall, Habba’s strong response to the judge’s behavior has shed light on the politically motivated nature of the trial.

What are the potential penalties that New York Attorney General Letitia James seeks to impose on Trump and his company in the ongoing civil fraud case
The ongoing civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump has taken an intense turn, with Trump attorney Alina Habba boldly standing up to the judge presiding over the trial. The exchange occurred as Trump provided lengthy answers to questions from the New York Attorney General’s office, prompting irritation from Supreme Court Justice Arthor Engoron.
In response, Habba fearlessly suggested that if the judge desired better answers, he should ask more specific questions. However, her straightforward approach was met with a shout from the judge, ordering her to sit down. Unsurprisingly, Trump himself commented on the perceived unfairness of the trial, expressing his hope that the public was paying attention to the proceedings.
Shortly after the incident, Habba spoke to reporters, voicing her refusal to tolerate the judge’s behavior. She accused Justice Engoron of showing bias against facts that were unfavorable to the case, insinuating that he was not interested in uncovering the full truth. Habba emphasized that the issue of corruption within courtrooms must be addressed, transcending political affiliations.
It is worth noting that Justice Engoron has previously ruled by summary judgment that Trump and his company committed fraud. The current phase of the trial is focused on determining the appropriate penalties for their actions. New York Attorney General Letitia James seeks to impose a fine of $250 million and to ban Trump and his company from conducting business in New York.
As the trial continues, it is evident that tensions are running high on both sides. The outcome of this case will undoubtedly have significant implications for Trump’s reputation and legal standing. It serves as a reminder of the complex and contentious nature of legal proceedings involving high-profile individuals, and reinforces the importance of impartiality and fairness in our judicial system.
