Trump Defense Team Notified of Comment Found on New York Court Page Predicting Outcome of Trial

Attorneys for President Donald Trump were notified Friday afternoon about a social media post that purported to come from a family member of one of the jurors who convicted him last week in his New York criminal case.

The Facebook post claimed that the outcome of the trial had been decided before the verdict was handed down last week.

It caught the attention of Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial and who is scheduled to sentence Trump in just a few weeks after he was convicted of 34 felony counts of questionable business crimes.

NBC News reported that Merchan flagged the post and sent it not only to Trump’s legal team, but also to prosecutors.

The letter was addressed to Trump attorney Todd Blanche and Manhattan Associate District Attorney Joshua Steinglass.

“Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention,” Merchan wrote.

The judge stated that a Facebook user named Michael Anderson commented, “My cousin is a juror and said Trump is getting convicted.”

Should there be an investigation into what this comment claimed?

Yes: 100% (1925 Votes)

No: 0% (5 Votes)

Anderson concluded, “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

The comment was accompanied by both a party emoji and a heart emoji.

Merchan reported that the comment was posted on May 29 – which was a day before a jury of 12 New Yorkers convicted Trump on May 30.

According to NBC News, the comment that warranted a letter to Trump’s legal team is now deleted, and the network had not independently confirmed its existence.

The news led to quick calls for the conviction to be vacated:

It was not immediately clear whether the person who posted it had really been linked to a juror.

Asked for comment about the disturbing revelation, a spokesman for Trump’s campaign told NBC, “We’re investigating.”

Trump’s legal team had declined to comment on the news as of early Friday evening.

Merchan is scheduled to hand down a sentence on July 11 — just days before Trump is expected to be nominated as the Republican Party’s 2024 nominee for president in Milwaukee.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
