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. She said regardless of her political views or allegations about them, she affirmed that she would remain a fair and impartial juror if brought on to the case. After she left the room, the judge lambasted the former president, sitting beside his attorneys as a criminal defendant, for his “audible” comments and for “gesticulating” towards her. “I don’t want a juror on this panel who lies to us, who misleads us as to his or her views” about Mr Trump, the judge said, adding that be believed the juror remained credible.
