Trump Golf Club Settles Lawsuit, Exposing Lawyer Alina Habba to Legal Risks
Donald Trump's Bedminster golf club paid $82,500 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit, leaving attorney Alina Habba vulnerable to being sued for fraud.
- Donald Trump's Bedminster golf club settled a sexual harassment lawsuit for $82,500, leaving Trump's attorney Alina Habba exposed to potential legal action.
- The settlement allows the plaintiff to retain a $15,000 hush-money payment and nullify a non-disclosure agreement, but specifically excludes Habba from the release.
- Alina Habba, once a regular at the club, allegedly tricked the plaintiff into agreeing to unfair terms, leveraging her relationship to gain favor with Trump.
- Habba's legal tactics in defending Trump have previously drawn criticism and sanctions, including a nearly $1 million fine for a frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
- The case highlights the ongoing legal challenges facing Trump and his associates, amid multiple indictments and a looming $454 million payment due from a New York fraud trial.
