'How dumb': George Conway mocks Alina Habba's botched interrogation of E. Jean Carroll

Anti-Trump lawyer George Conway this week couldn't help mocking Trump attorney Alina Habba for her efforts to rope him into the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial.

During her cross-examination of Carroll, Habba tried to coax her into saying that it was Conway who was behind her decision to sue Trump for defamation and sexual abuse.

"Is it true that you previously said George Conway planted the seed to sue President Trump?" Habba asked Carroll on Wednesday.

"No, he didn't plant it," Carroll replied. "He explained what a lawsuit would consist of, because I really didn't know."

"Who is George Conway, Ms. Carroll?" Habba asked.

"He is a formerly Republican lawyer," Carroll replied. "He is now an independent lawyer who does not like Donald Trump."

Habba then asked Carroll to confirm that Conway was "married to President Trump's campaign person... Ms. Kellyanne Conway," which prompted an immediate objection from Carroll counsel Roberta Kaplan, which Judge Lewis Kaplan sustained.

"Your Honor, may I put my reasoning..." Habba began.

"I don't need to hear your reasoning," Kaplan shot back.

"Okay," replied a defeated Habba.

Commenting on this exchange on Twitter, Conway posted a copy of the transcript and wrote, "If you’re wondering just how dumb Trump and Habba are, this may help."
