Trump attorney Alina Habba has faced her fair share of reprimand from the federal judge overseeing the former president's second defamation trial from writer E. Jean Carroll, earning 14 scoldings from the judge in just one day of court last week after making simple mistakes during the proceedings. But U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan has actually exercised restraint in his admonishment of Habba, a former federal judge told Business Insider.
"I think Kaplan is being really measured under the circumstances in his reactions to both Trump and Habba," said John Jones, who served as a U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania for more than 20 years.
