Judge Napolitano to Newsmax: Trump NYC Jury Must Have 'No Agenda'

The start of a criminal court case against Donald Trump will first have to deal with the selection of a jury with "no agenda" as they deliberate the civil fraud case against the 45th president, former Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday.

"You don't want people that never heard of him — that means they live on the moon," he said. "You don't want people that don't have an opinion on him — everybody's got an opinion on him. You want people that can be objective, whether they like him or dislike him." "That enables the lawyers to get a feel for this person would be a good fit on the jury," he said. "Is this person going to be objective? Do they really hate Trump and they are pretending to be objective? Do they really like Trump, and they don't want the government to know?"

Napolitano also weighed in on a Gaza protester who disrupted a University of California Berkeley dean’s party.
