The blockbuster remark came moments before closing arguments in Trump's second trial in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge threatened Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba with jail time on Friday, after the former president's lawyer kept contesting a ruling after it had been issued.

"You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup," senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned. "Sit down."

The bombshell remark came moments before the start of closing arguments in Trump's second trial in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.

Rudy Giuliani was a prosecutor and deputy attorney general. He was also well known as “America’s Mayor” after rallying New Yorkers in the wake of 9/11. Yet that didn’t stop him from ruining his own life committing crimes to protect Trump.

It’s really bizarre!

I agree, but Rudy has never said anything remotely like this-

“Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’.

And I don't think that statement was part of some sort of complicated 4-D chess to protect trump. The easiest explanation is she's stupid but pretty and willing to work for free. What more could Trump ask for?

She's not wrong. I have someone in my extended family who was a willowy 5'10 very attractive woman with no kids who couldn't have out-mathed my at the time sixth grader (really, no hyperbole, I was present for real world examples of this happening) who is the CFO of a company in San Diego with a beach front condo.

She could've used makeup and surgery to fake being pretty.
