Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch.
Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.”
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’”
Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams.
“At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch.
It sounds like he wanted to deny them food as a negotiating tactic and got big mad when that was undermined? Sleazy.
Can you imagine having … that… as a parent?
I’m 1000% sure he has never done any parenting.
None of these fuckers have. I remember watching Jeff Sessions up there talking about how God wants him to put refugee children in cages and it just clicked in my head. The man has never once cared for a child in his life. Oh sure he provided the sperm, he used tax dollars to hire the nannies, but the actual effort of being a parent he has not performed.
You never see any of these people struggling with a car seat, or telling a story about being late cause their kid threw up, or having to leave work to go see their kids school play.
“I was too busy running the county!”
That’s better.
Not any good parenting, anyway.
The closest he’s ever come to being a good parent was when he told Waldo that he’s “the best son money can buy” in Little Rascals.
I know a guy, started as a company accountant and built a billion dollar business that Goldman Sachs bought.
One of his negotiation tactics was getting a smoker into a room and not letting them out until they signed.
Worked for him LoL.
isn’t that imprisonment?
Are you serious? You think he locked him in the room or something?
Peonage maybe.
