In 2022, Habba was sanctioned for Trump’s “frivolous” lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. It appears that she still represents Trump in the second defamation suit brought by E. Jean Carroll. A former marketing executive for Marc Jacobs, in 2021 Habba threatened to sue Facebook on behalf of a Real Housewife who claimed that her account was banned for posting birthday wishes for Melania Trump. The lawsuit never happened, but the threat brought her to Trump’s attention. Her office is now across the street from Trump’s Bedminster resort in New Jersey.
