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 presidents 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, youre here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think youre 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.
He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina, she said.
Kaplan continued: He came back in and he said, Well, howd you like the lunch? And I said, Well, sir, I had a banana. You know, I can never really eat when Im taking testimony. And he said, Well, I told you, it was kind of charming. He said, I told you, I told them to make you really bad sandwiches, but they cant help themselves here. We have the best sandwiches.
Such a weird horrible human being. "We want to feed you bad food, but we aren't capable of that. Just know that if we could, we would"
