👀 Justice MERCHAN has notified the parties in Trump's case that a stray comment was posted on the NY court system's Facebook page on May 29, a day before Trump's conviction. Image
Here is the letter about the Facebook comment: nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/pre…
It does seem likely to be a fake — but Merchan didn’t indicate one way or the other whether he considered it serious. May have been sharing out of an abundance of caution in case others saw the screenshot.
Sort of astonishing to see the knee-jerk reaction for a “mistrial” on this issue before any facts are actually known.

It appears to be a silly troll. I’m a bit surprised Merchan didn’t have any of that info in his letter, knowing how it would be digested in some circles.
NEW: It looks increasingly likely to be a hoax/troll, but Justice Merchan nevertheless informed Trump/Bragg about a Facebook poster who claimed to have insight into Trump jury deliberations while they were ongoing.

HAPPENING NOW: The jury has signaled it has a note for the judge, so everyone is reconvening for an update. Unclear what the subject is.
I've seen some quick verdicts in cases, but that would be a shocker here. I've also seen juries deliberate for hours before sending a note that makes it sound like they've barely scratched the surface and maybe need troubleshooting help accessing evidence.
MERCHAN says the note came in at 2:56. It contains 4 requests.

1) Pecker's testimony re phone call with Trump
2) Pecker's testimoyn regarding decision not to finalize and fund McDougal's life rights
3) Pecker's testimony onTrump Tower meeting
4) Cohen on Trump Tower meeting

JUST IN: Unsealed filing in Trump Florida case says there were two rounds of classified documents discovered at Mar-a-Lago *after* the FBI search. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Image
Image
Judge HOWELL also found last year that prosecutors provided sufficient evidence that Trump sought to hide classified documents from prosceutors. It was part of her ruling granting crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This entire opinion from Judge Howell assessing the evidence prosecutors presented on Trump's "willful retention" of classified docs and efforts to obstruct the probe is extraordinary.

She described Nauta as "dissembling" in his FBI interview as well.

HAPPENING NOW: Trump lawyers and prosecutors began the day with a lengthy sidebar with Justice Merchan, unclear on whaat subject. Cohen cross-examination to resume imminently. politico.com/trumptrial
NEW: Bob Costello, a longtime Giuliani attorney and potential Trump defense witness, used yesterday's trial off-day to savage Michael Cohen in testimony to Congress.

Cohen has accused Costello of being part of a Trump-backed effort to pressure him against "flipping" politico.com/live-updates/2…Image
COSTELLO said Cohen repeatedly told him in 2018 that he had no evidence to incriminate Trump. Cohen testified Tuesday that he didn't tell Costello what he knew because he didn't trust him. politico.com/live-updates/2…

COHEN begins by talking about a Feb. 2017 meeting with Trump in the Oval Office. He says Trump asked if he was OK for money and emphasized a check would be coming to begin reimbursement for Stormy Daniels payoff.
Prosecutors are now presenting each of the 7 monthly checks Cohen received in 2017 from the Trump Organization. The paperwork said they were for his legal work when in fact, he says, they were to reimburse him for paying off Stormy Daniels. politico.com/trumptrial
Here is the check for Cohen's July payment. politico.com/trumptrial
