The jury is set to begin deliberations in the Hush Money case against Donald Trump.
The panel consists of 12 jurors and will consider the charges against Trump.
Jury deliberations in the historic criminal hush money trial against former President Donald Trump have begun.
The panel of seven men and five women will consider 34 counts of falsifying business records against Trump which are all connected to the cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Prosecutors spent weeks trying to prove Trump knowingly paid his former fixer Michael Cohen monthly installments of $35,000 to repay him for fronting $130,000 to keep Daniels from going public with allegations of an affair with Trump shortly before election day in 2016.
The 34 counts represent 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, and 11 checks that make up those payments to Cohen, which also included bonus money, repayment to a tech company, and additional money to offset taxes.
Early Wednesday, Trump spoke out on Truth Social.
Trump blasted the judge in the case and the case against him.
He ended with, “IN GOD WE TRUST!”
KANGAROO COURT! A CORRUPT AND CONFLICTED JUDGE. RELIANCE ON COUNSEL (ADVISE OF COUNSEL) NOT ALLOWED BY MERCHAN, A FIRST. HIS RULINGS, ON A CASE THAT SHOULD, ACCORDING TO ALL LEGAL SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS, NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT, HAVE MADE THIS A BIDEN PUSHED WITCH HUNT. THERE WAS NO CRIME, EXCEPT FOR THE BUM THAT GOT CAUGHT STEALING FROM ME! IN GOD WE TRUST!
…
THE D.A.’s OFFICE WAS ALLOWED TO GO ON WITH 5 HOURS OF BULL…. YESTERDAY. I have no rights against this Crooked Judge’s Gag Order!
…
I DIDN’T HAVE A FIXER, I HAD A LAWYER WHO, AT THAT TIME, WAS FULLY ACCREDITED AND ACCEPTED WITHIN THE LEGAL COMMUNITY, BUT THE JUDGE IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO USE THE RELIANCE ON COUNSEL DEFENSE. I MAY BE THE ONLY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY NOT ALLOWED TO DO SO AND, THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS A VERY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND RESTRICTIVE GAG ORDER. NOT FAIR — FREEDOM!
