The blockbuster remark came moments before closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge threatened Donald Trump’s attorney Alina Habba with jail time on Friday, after the former president’s lawyer kept contesting a ruling after it had been issued.

“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup,” senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned. “Sit down.”

The bombshell remark came moments before the start of closing arguments in Trump’s second trial in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.

      The wheels are turning on that, but the wheels turn slowly.

      But it’s not because of this. These are just shenanigans and Kaplan doesn’t have patience for shenanigans.

      Documents have come to light that she once implied to a former staff member of Trump’s golf course that she was representing her in a sexual harassment (what else?) settlement when she was really representing Trump. That’s a thing lawyers get disbarred for.
