Alina Habba Advises E. Jean Carroll Not To ‘Purchase Any Motorcycles or Penthouse Apartments’ Because Trump ‘Will Prevail’ in Appeal

Former President Donald Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, advised E. Jean Carroll not to “purchase any motorcycles or penthouse apartments” on Monday after predicting that Trump would win on appeal in the defamation case with Carroll.

During an appearance on Newsmax’s The Balance, Habba criticized Carroll for offering to buy MSNBC host Rachel Maddow a penthouse apartment and a new wardrobe after a jury ordered Trump to pay Carroll $83.3 million for defamation.

Speaking about the defamation trial, Habba told Newsmax host Eric Bolling:

It was like being in an epic Twilight Zone where no rules were allowed but for the other side, and then she goes out there and gloats and says she’s gonna buy France, and a wardrobe, and a motorcycle, and this and that. I want everyone to remember, and I said this in my closing argument to the jury, she’s here to get a check and after this she will continue. She didn’t care, you know, about the defamation. She didn’t. She cared about the publicity.

“On appeal, those rulings will come up, the one-sidedness will come up, and we will prevail,” predicted Habba, before concluding, “My advice to her would be not to go ahead and purchase any motorcycles or penthouse apartments.”

Carroll offered Maddow a number of luxury items last month during an appearance on MSNBC with her two lawyers Roberta Kaplan and Shawn Crowley.

“I have such, such great ideas for all the good I’m gonna do with this money,” said Carroll. “First thing, Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping. We’re going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes, a motorcycle for Crowley, a new fishing rod for Robbie.”

She continued, “Rachel, what do you want? Penthouse? It’s yours, Rachel! Penthouse and, uh, France? You want France? You wanna go fishing in France?”

Crowley then interrupted, “That’s a joke.”
