Justice Juan Merchan slams former president for his ‘audible’ remarks and gestures towards potential juror
The Manhattan judge presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial slammed the former president for “audibly” commenting about a juror and “gesticulating” towards her.
“I won’t tolerate it. I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom,” said an incensed New York Justice Juan Merchan. “I want to make that crystal clear.”
The former president’s legal team, after questioning a first-round of potential jurors who could deliver a verdict against him, asked to speak with one potential juror who appeared to post a video on social media showing New Yorkers celebrating. Defence attorney Todd Blanche said it appeared to be anti-Trump.
Thens he a fucking coward and they should get a judge who will not give in terrorist. I swear he could probably talk shit to the judges face continue to talk about the jury and they won’t do shit.
