Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch.
Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.”
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “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 said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice 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,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch.
I know what C U Next Tuesday means in a derogatory way, but ngl if I really had a meeting scheduled for next week with the person who said it to me, I would just assume that’s what they were referring to.
Yes, in this case the meeting was on Wednesday, but my initial thought would be to wonder if I was misremembering what day the meeting was supposed to take place.
Even if you know about it, it’s not always obvious depending on the context. However, if I have a brief but unpleasant interaction with someone who I had never met before and never planned to see again, said it as I was walking away, then yeah - it would probably register that they were being a dick.
Ohhhhh. Thank you for spelling it out. C U N T. Got it
And thank you for spelling it out again because my dumbass didn’t catch it again… Lol
I was literally just assuming that he was calling her a prostitute that have regulars on specific days lol
That is exactly what I thought!
