NY v. Trump: Judge reveals Facebook post implying juror discussed guilty verdict with family ahead of time
SUMMARY
Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing former President Trump's New York criminal trial, notified Trump’s defense team and Manhattan prosecutors of a Facebook comment suggesting a juror had discussed the guilty verdict beforehand. The comment, posted by a user named "Michael Anderson," claimed his cousin, a juror, said Trump would be convicted. This was posted on May 29th, just before Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Trump's defense team is investigating the matter, while the court has informed the involved parties of the online content. The trial, lasting six weeks, resulted from charges brought by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
