The former presidentā€™s legal team requested a trial delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She attended the party one day later.

Donald Trumpā€™s attorney, Alina Habba, was spotted rubbing elbows with Republicans in New Hampshire on Tuesday, just the day after asking for a delay in the ex-presidentā€™s defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.

On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carrollā€™s second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.

Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carrollā€™s lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trumpā€™s legal team requested a delay, saying Habba had been exposed to COVID and had a fever. She was not wearing a mask during the hearing.

The next day, however, Habba was sighted celebrating Trumpā€™s win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC Newsā€™ Garrett Haake.

    Iā€™m guessing itā€™s easier in some states than others and Iā€™m also guessing she chose an easy state.

      I retract you can not memorize a bad exam. Thinking of Miriam Bialikā€™s photographic memory. Agree some states have low bar examsšŸ¤£.
