Trump's legal team alleges juror misconduct tainted his hush money conviction, seeking to overturn the verdict. Prosecutors counter these claims as unsubstantiated and a tactic to undermine public trust.
Former President Donald Trump 's lawyers are alleging that his hush money conviction was tainted by juror misconduct , opening a new front in their fight to overturn the verdict and throw out the historic case. But prosecutors contend that the allegations in a defense court filing made public Tuesday are 'unsworn, unsupported' hearsay and part of a last-ditch effort to undermine public confidence in the case. A letter, dated Dec.
3, was added to the public court docket on Tuesday along with two partially redacted responses from the Manhattan district attorney's office, which prosecuted the hush money case, dated Dec. 5 and 9. 'Partisan political motivations infected nearly every aspect of this Witch Hunt, including the jury room,' Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said. He accused Bragg and Merchan of allowing 'their own personal political biases to fuel this charade' and said 'they should be ashamed of their inaction in refusing to investigate this serious matter, and allowing the grievous misconduct to occur.' 'It is clear that there is more information that should come to light regarding misconduct, and those with knowledge of such information should come forward and do what is right,' Cheung said, calling on the judge to dismiss the case immediately. The development comes as Merchan is weighing a pending defense request to throw out the case in light of his impending return to the White House. In their written responses, Manhattan prosecutors argued that Trump's lawyers were trying to muddy the verdict by airing their claims in a letter to the judge rather than a formal motion to dismiss the case
