Trump's Legal Strategy and Courtroom Conduct Draw Scrutiny Amid Campaign

As Trump faces multiple legal battles, his attorney's courtroom behavior and the clash of his trial schedule with his campaign raise questions.

Donald Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, has been criticized for her conduct during his civil trial involving journalist E. Jean Carroll, with legal experts suggesting her behavior may be part of a political strategy for Trump as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Trump's trial schedule is clashing with his campaign schedule, with the former president facing at least six cases, including four criminal trials and two civil trials, while also running for the Republican nomination.
Trump's legal team has been criticized for a string of losses in civil claims against him, with some lawyers refusing Trump as a client due to his reputation for not paying and being difficult to control.
Alina Habba was scolded by the judge during a court session for attempting to use evidence that was not submitted to the court and for making mistakes during questioning.
Carroll's attorneys are seeking an additional $10 million in damages after Trump continued to deny the accusations that he assaulted her, claiming he had no idea who she is and that Carroll was not his 'type.'
