The former president’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 Trump’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-president’s defamation trial because she was feeling under the weather.

On Monday, one of the nine jurors considering writer E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation suit against Trump was excused for being ill.

Though Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyers agreed to continue the trial with eight jurors, Trump’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 Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary by NBC News’ Garrett Haake.

      As opposed to people who prefer cancer drugs?

      That’s about an equally flippant, equally bullshit response. Ivermectin isn’t just “horse dewormer”, it’s a pretty broad and widely used anti-parasitic, which when it was discovered in the 70s was referred to as a “wonder drug from Japan” because it works in a wide variety of mammal species (including humans, often being used to treat scabies or intestinal worms) against a wide variety of parasites.

      Right wing idiots spread the idea that an anti-parasitic is an appropriate treatment for a viral infection, but that doesn’t change that you should respect the fucking drug and all the good it has done in the last half century.
