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.
Man, I remember that. Then they lied to the country about how sick he really was. They had discussions about whether he should go to the hospital or not and ultimately they decided he was getting worse and worse and that he had to go right then so that he could be seen walking to the helicopter. If they had waited, he would not have then able to walk. Of course he was vaccinated and immediately got the best care, I wonder how many of his dumbass supporters died because they figured “well Trump lived without vaccinations or a mask, I will too.”
Reminds me of a different story.
After he noped out of the WW1 Centennial ceremonies because it was raining, they had to arrange a photo op of him going to Arlington in the rain to place flowers. Ignoring the fact that he could have gone to Arlington every day of his Presidency…
