NY v. Trump: Judge reveals Facebook post implying juror discussed guilty verdict before trial concluded UPDATE: It’s a hoax
More on this story from yesterday.
UPDATE: Aaaaand it turns out to be a hoax. Information courtesy of Anon1 can be seen here.
[FOXNEWS]The judge presiding over former President Trump’s New York criminal trial notified his defense team on Friday of a comment on the court's public Facebook page that implies one of the jurors discussed the guilty verdict with family before the trial concluded.

Fox News obtained the letter Judge Juan Merchan shared with Trump defense attorneys and Manhattan prosecutors.

"'Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System's public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, ’Michael Anderson,’ states:

"’My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted! Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!’"

The comment was posted on May 29 "regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding."

The profile for "Michael Anderson" has little publicly available information, but the user identifies himself as a "Transabled & professional sh-- poster."

A Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital they are "investigating the matter."

Al Baker, state OCA spokesperson, said Friday that "as appropriate, the Court informed the parties once it learned of this online content."

The post came a day before Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump had pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
to all charges.

The six-week-long trial stemmed from charges brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
...Soros-owned and operated Manhattan DA. Putting vicious and blood-thirsty criminals in jail only makes them unhappy, and they've led such hard lives after all...

Whether this was started by a $hit Poster, or Liberal Media orchestrated use of reverse Psychology for political cover.

I stand by my original comment made yesterday.

"Just confirming what a majority of the US Citizens knew on either political side.

It was a preordained verdict, before the trial even started."

#2 If the jurors start speaking publicly, Merchan will have to take action to shut them up. Their motivations and takes on Trump’s guilt will not match up. The MSM will be discouraged from publishing anything they say.

#3 Wonder how Merchan feels after having been made to look the fool by an FB troll?
