Judge Merchan's letter to Trump lawyer could indicate grounds for a mistrial
More than eyebrows were raised after New York judge Merchan sent a letter regarding the jury in former President Donald Trump's New York City hush money trial after the presiding judge flagged a post to social media alleging that a juror had spoken about Trump's verdict before it was handed down.
According to New York Judge Juan Merchan's letter, which was sent to Trump lawyer Todd Blanch and Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass, a comment was left on the New York State Unified Court System's facebook page by a user under the name "Michael Anderson," who wrote, "My cousin is a juror and says Tump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!"
