Alina Habba, an attorney for Donald Trump, was scolded by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday after she yet again asked to pause the former president's defamation trial so he could attend a funeral for his wife's mother.
Moments before plaintiff E. Jean Carroll took the stand, Habba made a request that the judge had already denied.
"VERY testy exchange between Habba and Judge Kaplan after Habba again asked for [an] adjournment so Trump can attend [a] funeral," Erica Orden reported for Politico.
"The application is denied," Kaplan said. "I will hear no further argument on it."

Habba continued to speak and was shut down.
"None. Do you understand that word?" Kaplan asked. "Sit down."
"I don't like to be spoken to that way, your honor," Habba complained.
Kaplan cut her off again.
"It's denied. Sit down," he said.
Trump previously referred to Kaplan as an "animal" for denying the request.
