UPDATE: Trump’s defense advises Judge Merchan that during the lunch recess, Trump’s team claims it discovered social media posts for multiple jurors that the defense claims directly contradict their answers to the questionnaire and show “hostility” to Trump.
A juror (a woman) is brought into the courtroom to be questioned about a Facebook post saying “It’s a full-on celebration in NYC” and “get in the car and spread some honking cheer!” on Election Day 2020.
Upon questioning, she says she went to move her car and saw a celebration. It reminded her of the essential worker celebrations. She emphasizes that she strongly believes she can do the job of a juror.
As the juror turns to leave the courtroom, Donald Trump says something audibly in her direction. Judge Merchan tells the defense: “I will not have any juror intimidated in this courtroom. Take a moment to talk with your client.”
@KatiePhang So am I to understand anyone who openly supports Biden will be unacceptable to serve? Will defense only accept trump supporters to serve?
