Who is Alina Habba? Defense attorney is Trump’s voice in and out of court

Posted on By edam
Things weren’t going well for Donald Trump’s lawyers in the former president’s civil fraud trial. Trump had just concluded a day of testimony that he had peppered with caustic attacks on Judge Arthur Engoron, and his attorneys were struggling to seek guidance from the judge about moving for a mistrial based on the conduct of his clerk — a touchy subject that Engoron had barred lawyers from referring in court. “I’m directing you not to make such a motion,” Engoron said flatly. Enter Alina Habba, playing peacemaker. “I’ll be clearer, if I may. I think they are being extremely careful,…

ATLANTA (AP) — A lawyer for a former elections director was charged alongside former President Donald Trump and others over efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election said Wednesday that he released videos of prosecutors’ interviews with some of their codefendants because he thought they helped his clients and the public had the right to see them.

Posted on By edam
ATLANTA (AP) — A man is expected to be a key witness for lawyers trying to get Fani Willis disqualified from the Georgia election interference case against Donald Trump instead refused to answer most of their questions on Friday, citing attorney-client privilege during the second day of a hearing that sometimes bordered on theater.

Who is Ashleigh Merchant, attorney in Trump Georgia case

Posted on By edam
Ashleigh Merchant never stopped running — and that has embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis running scared. The “badass” Georgia criminal defense attorney, 46, who runs marathons in his spare time, will be front and center at a hearing in Atlanta Thursday that could end the sprawling election meddling and racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and others. In August, a Fulton County grand jury returned a 41-count indictment accusing Trump and 18 co-defendants of plotting to reverse the former president’s 2020 electoral loss in Georgia. Willis has been leading the investigation. Then Merchant filed a bombshell motion…
