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.

    If we were talking about the normal populace, sure. But weā€™re taking about an aged and under-vaccinated group.

        As opposed to people who prefer cancer drugs?

        Thatā€™s about an equally flippant, equally bullshit response. Ivermectin isnā€™t just ā€œhorse dewormerā€, itā€™s a pretty broad and widely used anti-parasitic, which when it was discovered in the 70s was referred to as a ā€œwonder drug from Japanā€ because it works in a wide variety of mammal species (including humans, often being used to treat scabies or intestinal worms) against a wide variety of parasites.

        Right wing idiots spread the idea that an anti-parasitic is an appropriate treatment for a viral infection, but that doesnā€™t change that you should respect the fucking drug and all the good it has done in the last half century.
