Trump’s New Lawyer In E. Jean Carroll Case Is An… Odd Choice

  • August 5, 2024
It would appear that Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba is out of E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against the former president … sort of. As with every other procedural aspect of this case, it’s substantially factual, and seems all but guaranteed to piss off Judge Lewis Kaplan. And he was already pretty pissed! To recap: In 2019, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in a New York department store decades earlier. Trump immediately branded Carroll a liar and implied she was too ugly to rape — an allegation slightly undercut when he examined a picture of…

Cohen was reimbursed for the payment, which was…

Lawyer apologizes for citing ChatGPT-generated cases in court

  • May 30, 2023
“It was in consultation with the generative artificial intelligence website ChatGPT that your affiant did locate and cite the following cases in the affirmation in opposition submitted,” he said. According to the lawyer, he has never used ChatGPT in the past to conduct legal research and was “unaware” that the content it generated could be false. “That is the fault of the affiant, in not confirming the sources provided by ChatGPT of the legal opinions it provides,” Schwartz said. “That your affiant had no intention to deceive this court nor the defendant.” Schwartz added that he “greatly regrets” using generative…

Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina’s arguments on hush-money case, explained

  • April 27, 2023
Comment on this storyComments Few Americans in modern history have run through a series of lawyers as colorful — and often, of such dubious reliability — as Donald Trump. And now we have a new entry in a long succession: Joe Tacopina. In appearances on ABC News, Fox News and MSNBC this week, the high-profile criminal defense lawyer rather enthusiastically laid out Trump’s defense against a potentially imminent criminal charge in Manhattan. In the course of doing so, though, Tacopina lodged a series of questionable claims about the case. The potential charges apparently deal with the $130,000 hush-money payment that…

Ripple Pro Lawyer Surprised by Quick Settlement in Nexo v. SEC Case: Details

  • March 4, 2023
Ripple Pro lawyers Jeremy Hogan is astonished at the speed of settlement in the Nexo lawsuit filed by the SEC. He quizzed the agency on how it charged the crypto lender for its “lending product” and settled with it that same day. The SEC charges NEXO for its “lending product,” and settles with them the same day. A $45 million collection. But isn’t NEXO an exchange? What about the numerous “securities” that NEXO is unlawfully selling to US citizens? That’s okay now?? I’m confused. https://t.co/Dyyp4l1WFJ — Jeremy Hogan (@attorneyjeremy1) January 20, 2023 “The SEC charges Nexo for its “lending product”…
