State ethics authorities are moving forward with a disciplinary case against attorney Alina Habba-Mildon stemming from a sexual harassment settlement at Donald Trump's Bedminster golf club. The proceeding could ultimately result in her disbarment.
The Office of Attorney Ethics is advancing the complaint, which stems from a 2021 dispute. The filing alleges that Habba-Mildon persuaded a former waitress at the golf club to accept an unlawful agreement to resolve sexual harassment claims against her supervisor.
The ethics case concerns the former top federal prosecutor in New Jersey and her handling of the civil claims and the terms of the confidential settlement agreement reached at the Somerset County club.
If the disciplinary panel finds that professional misconduct occurred, penalties could range from public censure to disbarment in New Jersey.
