Alina Habba spotted at Trump campaign party after claiming Covid exposure at trial: report

Donald Trump's often-mocked attorney Alina Habba was reportedly spotted at the ex-president's New Hampshire campaign event after claiming to have been exposed to Covid-19 at the E. Jean Carroll trial.

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin flagged the report, saying Habba "was spotted tonight in New Hampshire."

"I’m guessing her health was not the reason for delaying the E. Jean Carroll trial, which is now scheduled to resume Thursday," she wrote.

Rubin then added:

"I am not insinuating Habba lied. At all. I take her at her word. She said she had been exposed and was feeling feverish over the weekend; she also represented on Monday that she tested negative that morning... What I am suggesting, however is that *someone else* who has been a regular courtroom presence has COVID, without which there would be little reason for a three-day delay."

Rubin also linked to the NBC story, which originally reported on Habba's movements.

"Trump’s attorney Alina Habba is at his campaign’s return party in New Hampshire," the NBC News report stated. "Habba, who is representing Trump in the New York civil defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, became the subject of discussion when she told the court yesterday that her family had Covid and she had been exposed. After a juror tested positive, the case was delayed, and it isn’t scheduled to resume until Thursday."
