Who Is Alina Habba's Husband? Meet Alina Habba Ex Husband And Children

Alina Habba, a lawyer, is representing former President Donald Trump in a civil defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The trial started with jury selection earlier this week.

During the trial, Habba broke a gag order by making comments that suggested Carroll was not sexually assaulted. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, overseeing the case, strongly reprimanded her. Habba also had a problematic cross-examination, drawing further criticism from the judge.

Lawrence O’Donnell, an MSNBC anchor, dubbed Habba “the current front-runner” for the title of “worst lawyer in the world” after she admitted in court that she doesn’t “know how to try this case.”
