The jury has found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his hush money criminal trial.Donald Trump came out in the hallway following the verdict, spiting angry, calling it "a rigged trial, a disgrace.""They know what happened here, everyone knows what happened here," Trump said. "Its ok. I'm fighting for our country, I'm fighting for our constitution. We will keep fighting until we win. Because our country has gone to hell.
Former President Donald Trump is continuing to rail against his hush-money trial and proclaim his innocence. Lara Trump said if Trump is convicted and given a sentence of home confinement, "We will have him doing virtual rallies and campaign events if that is the case. And we'll have to play the hand that we're dealt," according to a transcript of the interview.
Donald Trump continued to complain about the hush money trial as he left court Wednesday after the first day of jury deliberations. Before dismissing the jury for the day, the judge emphasized his standard instruction about the jury not looking up information related to the trial."See you tomorrow morning at 9:30," the judge said before the jury exited the courtroom.Before the parties resolved the first note, the jury sent another note asking "to rehear the judge's instructions."
"IT IS RIDICULOUS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AND UNAMERICAN that the highly Conflicted, Radical Left Judge is not requiring a unanimous decision on the fake charges against me brought by Soros backed D.A. Alvin Bragg," he wrote. "A THIRD WORLD ELECTION INTERFERENCE HOAX!"If the jurors disagree, they keep deliberating. If they get to a point where they are hopelessly deadlocked, then the judge can declare a mistrial.
It's anyone's guess how long the jury in Donald Trump's hush money case will deliberate for and there's no time limit either. The jury must evaluate 34 counts of falsifying business records and that could take some time. A verdict might not come by the end of the week. "What is happening here is weaponization at a level that nobody's seen before ever and it shouldn't be allowed to happen," Trump said.
"As a juror, you are asked to make a very important decision about another member of the community," Judge Juan M. Merchan said, underscoring that - in the eyes of the law - the jurors and Trump are peers.
