Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba got off to another rough start on Friday morning as the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial began by arriving late and already getting into a squabble with Judge Lewis Kaplan.
According to reporting from the courtroom, Habba and her client arrived ten minutes late and they were admonished for holding up the proceedings.
That led to an exchange over slides from Trump's social media postings before the jury was seated.
According to the Inner City Press, E. Jean Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan objected to a slide to be used and Judge Kaplan shot it down, telling Habba, "You are not showing the slide."

Habba then reportedly replied, "Your Honor, Ms. Kaplan stipulated -."
"Sit down," Judge Kaplan interrupted before adding, "You are on the verge of spending some time in the lock-up" Habba appeared to laugh.
