High-profile attorney Roberta Kaplan claimed that Donald Trump threw papers across the table at his Mar-a-Lago residence after learning that his legal team would provide her lunch.
During Thursday’s episode of the George Conway Explains It All podcast, Kaplan said that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through their lunch break because he believed the deposition was a “waste of time.”
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” she said. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?'”
Kaplan told Trump that his legal team had “graciously offered to provide” her team with a meal, “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,” she said.
The outburst took place while Kaplan was deposing Trump in a lawsuit alleging his involvement with a fraudulent marketing company. The suit was dismissed last month.
Kaplan’s remarks come a week after her victory in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial against Trump, in which a jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million.
“I spent my whole life devoted to the principle that we have a rule of law and we have a judicial system that works,” Kaplan said about the trial. “And that’s what makes us a constitutional democracy, that — at least until recently — was to be worldwide. And it was starting, I mean, it is in times looking like that may not be true.”
“This case validated that at least as of now, we still have that,” Kaplan said of Carroll’s suit.
