Trump's lawyers allege juror impartiality issues in his criminal hush money trial, seeking to overturn his guilty verdicts. Prosecutors dispute these claims, and a hearing on the matter is unlikely.
Attorneys for Donald Trump informed a New York judge that the president-elect's criminal hush money trial was compromised by 'grave juror misconduct ' and that his guilty verdicts should be vacated. Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office countered that the allegations are 'seemingly inaccurate' and pointed out that Trump 's legal team opposes a hearing to investigate these claims.
This correspondence surfaced after Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump's request to dismiss his hush money conviction based on presidential immunity. Attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove argued that 'The jury in this case was not anywhere near fair and impartial.' The seven-page letter from Blanche and Bove is heavily redacted, offering few specifics or evidence to substantiate the misconduct claims. The correspondence emerged a day after Judge Merchan dismissed Trump's request to have his hush money conviction overturned
