Trump conviction thrown into jeopardy over shock ‘juror remark’ posted to Facebook the day before guilty verdicts

Trump’s hush money conviction could be in doubt after a Facebook post claimed jurors were discussing plans to find the ex-president guilty before delivering their verdict.

Judge Juan Merchan sparked speculation of potential mistrial when he sent a letter to the prosecution and defense attorneys about the message that read: ‘My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted [heart emoji] Thank you folks for all your had work!!!!’

The user, named Michael Anderson, wrote the post that sparked confusion on a New York Unified Court System’s Facebook page.
