EJ Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan this week told George Conway’s podcast that, when she visited Mar-a-Lago disgraced former President Trump had a meltdown when his lawyer Alina Habba offered Kaplan a lunch from Mar-a-Lago’s kitchen during a deposition at the club last year, CNN reports
It started when Kaplan told him she didn’t want to keep taking testimony through lunchtime, even though he wanted to get it over with. “And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it. And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?'” Kaplan recounted to Conway.
Kaplan said she told him that his lawyers had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch – a common professional courtesy between opposing legal teams. “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room… He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina.”
