Donald Trump's lawyer was yelled at by the judge during a heated day in court on Monday as part of the civil fraud trial.
Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba launched a blistering attack against the judge overseeing the $250 million civil fraud trial in New York amid a heated day of testimony from the former president.Speaking outside the New York courtroom on Monday, Habba accused Judge Arthur Engoron, who is overseeing the case, of being 'unhinged' after he clashed with the former president and his lawyers several times during Trump's testimony.
' Then why exactly am I being paid as an attorney and why exactly are taxpayer dollars being used in this courtroom?' Habba said.'It doesn't matter what your politics are. Everyone has a right in this country to get up and put up a defense. I don't care who you are. You have a right to hire a lawyer who can put objections on the record. You have a right to hire a lawyer who can stand up and say something when they see something wrong,' Habba added.
