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

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…

While Donald Trump launches verbal attacks against the prosecutor and judge overseeing his criminal charges in connection with hush money payments to the adult film star Stormy Daniels, an attorney for the former US president has said his main focus is on legal maneuvers aiming to get the case Refuse long before a trial jury is ever seated.

Todd and Julie Chrisley’s Lawyer Discusses Their Appeal

Todd and Julie Chrisley’s lawyer is speaking out after his clients began their prison sentences on Tuesday. Alex Little of Burr & Forman LLP — the attorney for Todd, 53, and Julie, 50 — opened up about the alleged missteps by federal prosecutors that may help the Chrisley Knows Best stars in appealing to their convictions. “The very beginning of this case there was an unconstitutional search by the Georgia Department of Revenue,” Little claimed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “This court’s already found that was unconstitutional and it should’ve stopped the whole case in its tracks. That didn’t…
