Trump just made an 'attempt to intimidate jurors' on social media: CNN legal analyst
Raw StoryDonald Trump's repost of a Fox News host's hush money trial juror attack is pure juror intimidation, says CNN legal expert Jeffrey Toobin. The former president reposted on Truth Social a quote made by Fox News anchor Jesse Watters that reads: “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury." That move may fly in the face of a gag order imposed by New York Judge Juan Merchan banning any public statements by defendant Trump aimed at witnesses, court staff, and prospective jurors along with family members of the judge and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The simple parroting of Watters comment could actually force a scheduled April 23 contempt hearing that Bragg's prosecutors called for to cite previous gag order violations to be moved up.
