Trump Considers Changing Legal Team in Carroll Defamation Appeal

Current attorney Alina Habba faces potential sanctions as Trump's courtroom behavior is scrutinized.

• Former President Donald Trump is considering replacing his legal team as he appeals writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against him, after a jury ordered him to pay her $83.3 million.

• Habba has since recanted her claim that the judge in the case had 'mentored' Carroll's attorney in the 1990s.
