'I hate that Black bitch!' Donald Trump's lawyer recently shouted about NY AG Letitia James: lawsuit

Alina Habba, Trump's busiest lawyer, was also caught on tape dropping 'N' bombs while singing along to gangsta rap, as a former employee alleges.

• Donald Trump's busiest lawyer, Alina Habba, is being sued for alleged racist behavior by an ex-employee.
• Na'Syia Drayton alleges Habba recently called the NY AG who's investigating Trump's business a 'Black bitch.'
• Habba dropped 'N' bombs while singing along to rap to 'energize' herself before hearings, Drayton alleges.

A lawyer for Donald Trump is being accused of "racist" office behavior by an ex-employee, including allegedly shouting "I hate that Black bitch!" about the New York Attorney General Letitia James after losing a court case. 

Bedminster, New Jersey-based attorney Alina Habba — arguably the former president's busiest lawyer —  made the slur two months ago, while representing Trump in contentious, high-stakes litigation surrounding James' ongoing probe of the Trump Organization, according to a lawsuit filed this week in Middlesex County, New Jersey.

Habba identifies as Arab American; law partner Michael Madaio is white; their firm is based in the same weathy Jersey town as the Trump Natinoal Golf Club.

The AG is Black, as is the former employee who is bringing the lawsuit, Na'Syia Drayton of Fords, New Jersey.

Drayton's lawsuit says she was racially harassed and discriminated against and is seeking unspecified back pay, lost future wages and other damages.

"When Defendant Alina Habba learned that she lost her matter," the lawsuit says of an unspecified April court battle with James, "and that the Judge rejected her legal argument, Defendant Alina Habba emerged irate from her office, (where she and Defendant Michael Madaio were meeting) and shouted, 'I HATE THAT BLACK BITCH!'" the lawsuit says.

"Thereafter, Defendant Alina Habba began parading around the office seething about the judge, and complaining that she had lost her argument," the lawsuit says, leaving Drayton feeling "appalled" and "astonished." 

The racism accusation has flown both ways:  April also happens to be the month that Trump twice accused James of being racist, including in a bizarre "Happy Easter" post online that provided no basis for the label.

The "that Black bitch!" slur is presented in the lawsuit as the final straw of inappropriate behavior at Habba's lawfirm, prompting Drayton's resignation on June 14.  

"You people like fried chicken," Habba once told her loudly while perusing the menu during a staff luncheon, Drayton alleges.

In another instance, a Jewish co-worker was allegedly casually referred to by Habba as "a cheap Jew." 

Habba and Madaio also had the "inappropriate and offensive" habit of dropping "N" bombs while "loudly" rapping along to "booming" rap music in the office, something the two engaged in to "energize, motivate and otherwise 'pump themselves up' prior to making court appearances," the lawsuit alleges.

The partners' playlist included "what is generally perceived and classified as gangster and hip-hop music," including Ruff Ryders Anthem by DMX; Niggas in Paris by Kanye West and Jay-Z; and Rich Ass Fuck and Lollipop by Lil Wayne.

The "racially offensive and sexually inappropriate" lyrics to the songs were attached to Drayton's lawsuit as "Exhibit A." 

Drayton's concerns, once voiced, were met with "emotional, animated, and aggressive" combativeness by Habba, she alleges, including criticism for her being "hyper-sensitive" and "ungrateful." 

"I am a fucking minority myself!" Habba allegedly shouted back at Drayton. "I'm not white," Habba allegedly continued. "I used to be bullied because I am Arab." 

The lawsuit says Habba vehemently defended her right to enjoy hip hop in the office, declaring, "Everybody listens to Kanye West — and I'm not allowed to?"

Habba allegedly went on, "Do you understand how I feel now?! I love hip hop — always have, always will ... I'm taking serious offense to this, frankly." 

Just which legal loss to James may have prompted the alleged "that Black bitch!" remark was left unstated in the lawsuit.

But April was a busy month for litigation between Trump, the Trump Organization and the AG's office, with Trump on the losing end of much of it. 

The AG is wrapping up a three-year probe of what her office has called a decade's pattern of alleged financil misstatements in documents used by Trump to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in bank loans and tax breaks.

In one noteworthy loss, Habba argued unsuccessfully against Trump being held in contempt of court for failing to fully comply with James' subpoeana for his personal business documents.

Habba made no secret during hearings over the contempt matter of being irritated by the AG's document demands — and even by the demands of the judge.

"If you would like a bunch more affadavits, you can order that," Habba snapped angrily at New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, during a March hearing on the matter. "You can order anything you like."  

"I don't want to do this dance back and forth," she told a pair of James' lawyers at another hearing. "I don't have more documents to to give you so you can fine us for ten months but you're not going to get any more documents from Mr. Trump."

Habba has accused James, a Democrat, of singling out Trump for political reasons, and on a Newsmax appearance in January she called James "a sick person." 

In addition to the AG probe, Habba reps Trump as a defendant in lawsuits filed by Michael Cohen and by protesters of Mexican heritage who allege Trump sicced his security on them outside Manhattan's Trump Tower in 2015. The former case is set for jury selection in the Bronx on Monday.

Habba also reps Trump as a plaintiff in his massive lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, alleging an "unthinkable plot" to tie his 2016 presidential campaign to Russia.

Drayton's Princeton, New Jersey-based attorney, Jacqueline Tillmann, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  

A spokesperson for James declined to say what, if anything, the AG would do in response to the lawsuit.

But it's doubtful the ex-employee's accusations — which are being strenuously denied by Habba — will have any impact on the probe, which has already been delayed by the death of Trump's first wife, Ivana.

A new date for court-ordered depositions by Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump, Jr., originally set for this week, has yet to be set. 

Habba is strongly denying the allegations of racism in the lawsuit, which was first reported by the Daily Beast.

"Na'Syia is someone we love and care about and have for years," Habba said in response to the lawsuit.

"Na'Syia had never made a single complaint to anyone until she had decided to quit and ask for an exorbitant amount of money in return. I am disappointed by this lawsuit and the allegations which are simply not true."
