BREAKING - JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT IN TRUMP’S VERDICT? In a letter, today, June 7, 2024, Judge Juan M. Merchan of the New York Supreme Court, alerted the involved parties in the case *People v. Trump* about a concerning comment posted on the Unified Court System's Facebook page a week ago.
NOTE: The comment, made by a user named "Michael Anderson," claims that his cousin, a juror in the trial, had already decided that Trump will be convicted.
NOTE: The notification is significant because it suggests potential juror bias or misconduct, which could impact the fairness of the trial.
NOTE: The judge brought the issue to the attention of both Trump’s defense attorney, Todd Blanche, and the prosecutor, ADA Joshua Steinglass.
NOTE: It’s unclear whether the allegation is true or the person truly connected to the juror. But it’s concerning enough the judge had to notify both parties.
Below is the letter:

Re: People v. Trump, Ind. No. 71543-2023
Dear Counsel:
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, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding.
The posting, entitled “The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at 10,” and the comment are both viewable at facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/.
Very truly yours,
Juan M. Merchan
Judge Court of Claims
Acting Justice Supreme Court
