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.

    Yup, my high school valedictorian was the dumbest person Iā€™ve ever met. But she could regurgitate information on a test without understanding it.

      I never thought I was smart or dumb, just like a really, really good test taker. I didnā€™t retain close to what I should have from my university years.

        Same. Pretty much I retain information just long enough for it to be useful, then I forget it as soon as I start learning/doing something else.
