The Trump cabal’s legal teams just cannot seem to stop screwing up. On Monday, Trump’s personal lawyers missed a key filing deadline regarding his New York gag order, then Rudy Giuliani’s attempt to have the civil defamation lawsuit by Fulton County, Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss heard in a bench trial was thrown out because the case had already been decided and Rudy lost in a default judgment.
Now, according to Politico, Giuliani’s lawyer is taking the blame for his client not appearing in a DC federal courthouse even though Judge Beryl Howell had previously ordered his presence. While Freeman and Moss watched from the plaintiffs’ table, attorney Joe Sibley was scolded by Howell after he meekly claimed he had misunderstood her order. “How could you have missed that?” Howell asked, to which Sibley responded, “My mistake.”
