Judge Juan Merchan forcefully admonished Donald Trump, instructing the former president’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, to address his client’s behavior after the judge observed Trump gesturing and uttering at a potential juror. The judge raised his voice as he spoke to Trump’s attorney.
Trump was gesturing and audibly speaking in the direction of a potential juror who was being questioned, prompting Judge Merchan to intervene.
Following the juror’s exit from the courtroom, Merchan emphasized to Trump’s legal team the gravity of the situation
“Your client was audibly uttering,” he told Trump’s lawyers. “I will not have any jurors intimidated in the courtroom.”
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
