The Magnificent Seven
The judge in Donald Trump’s “hush money” case scolded Trump muttering during jury selection, the New York Times reports.
Said Justice Merchan: “I won’t tolerate that. I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom.”
Trump’s lawyer responded: “Yes, your honor,” when he was asked to speak to Trump. He then gave Trunp the requested talking-to, and Trump looked furious.
CNN says Trump “was gesturing and audibly speaking in the direction of the potential juror who was being questioned.”
