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.

I thought the legally blonde sequels were over. Why is this fall from grace trope playing out?

Don’t insult the legally blonde franchise like that.

Maybe it’s a spinoff; Illegally Fake Blonde with a low budget actress.

Or she could be the anti-Elle, who thinks that just because she's pretty she can get away with being a terrible lawyer, and Elle needs to teach her that impeccable style and grooming may be important, but that being a lawyer is about a whole lot more than knowing which shoes go with which purse.
