Justice Merchan notifies the prosecution and defense in Trump’s New York case about a comment left by a user on the court’s Facebook page on or around May 29–the day before the jury returned a Trump’s guilty verdict: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted..” Image
According to Justice Merchan’s letter, the comment was left in response to a May 29 posting on the court system’s Facebook page. It’s labeled by Facebook as one week old — meaning it’s unclear exactly when the comment was posted.
And keep in mind that we have no idea if the person who posted this actually is the cousin of a juror. People post false information on the internet all the time.

I'm in courtroom 1530 at the Manhattan criminal courthouse, where the jury in People of New York v. Donald J. Trump is set to return its verdict against the former President.

I'll thread updates on the verdict below
Justice Merchan re-enters the courtroom. As he told the parties previously, he received a note from the jury indicating that they have a verdict.

He directs a court officer to bring the jurors into courtroom 1530.
A quick note: The internet access in here is extremely unreliable at the moment. I will update as fast as I can, but if I suddenly go silent it's because I don't have internet.

Good morning ☀️ from Manhattan’s hottest club: The Line to get into courtroom 1530, where the jurors who will decide Donald Trump’s fate are set to return at 9:30 am before they resume deliberations.

Will today be the day we get a verdict?

Follow along ⬇️ 👇 Image
The jurors are set to resume their deliberations later today.

But first: They'll return to the jury box this morning to listen to excerpts of testimony they requested yesterday. The jurors also asked to re-hear their jury instructions.
We don't yet know whether the jurors want to re-hear the entirety of the jury instructions or just an excerpt.

When Justice Merchan excused the jurors yesterday, he told them that they could think about it and tell him when they return this morning.

Some observations about the jury note:

(1) They didn't ask for testimony related to Cohen's credibility.

They didn't ask, for example, for Cohen's testimony regarding the Oct. 24 phone call with Schiller.

In fact, they didn't ask for much related to Cohen at all.
(2) The jurors seem to be focused on testimony related to the alleged conspiracy to influence the 2016 election—the crime that prosecutors say Trump intended to commit or conceal by falsifying records.

Two of the four requests relate to the 2015 meeting between Pecker, Cohen, and Trump at Trump Tower, where the conspiracy was allegedly formed.
(3) Three of the four requests relate to testimony about Trump's direct involvement in the alleged conspiracy.

The jurors asked for Cohen and Pecker's testimony about the 2015 Trump Tower meeting. But they also asked for testimony about Trump and Pecker's June 2016 call....👇

Trump trial update: Something *might* be about to happen -- likely, a jury note.

There's a buzzer the jury can ring when they want to contact a court officer to send a note to the judge.

The bell rang a few minutes ago.
The jury has now been deliberating for more than 3 hours.

In courtroom 1530, the prosecution team has just re-entered the courtroom. It's ADAs Susan Hoffinger, Matthew Colangelo, Becky Mangold, Josh Steinglass, and...America's Favorite Paralegals.
Trump, followed by his defense team and entourage, files back in.

Good morning from 100 Centre Street, where it’s DELIBERATION DAY in Donald Trump’s criminal trial on 34 felony counts for falsification of business records.

Could today be the day that 12 New Yorkers decide the fate of the former President?

Follow along as I live tweet ⬇️👇 Image
Yesterday was a marathon day for the jurors. They heard closing arguments from both the defense and the prosecution. Josh Steinglass wrapped up his summation for The People around 8 p.m. ET.

What to expect this morning?

At 10 am ET, Justice Juan Merchan is set to “charge the jury”—meaning he will provide instructions to the jurors on what the law means and what the jury must find in order to return a guilty verdict against Trump.
