  • Trump's lawyer was repeatedly bench-slapped for ignoring basic courtroom rules and legal procedure.
  • Legal experts say that in any other case, Habba's antics would be grounds for a malpractice suit.
  • But Trump is unlikely to sue her — likey because Habba is doing exactly what he wants.

Donald Trump's lawyer made headlines last week after she violated basic courtroom rules and proper legal procedure in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial.
