“The judge overseeing former President Trump’s hush money criminal case informed the parties Friday that a person on Facebook claimed to have advance knowledge of the verdict in the case.
Judge Juan Merchan wrote Trump’s attorneys and the Manhattan district attorney’s office that on May 29 – the day 12 New Yorkers began deliberating Trump’s case and a day before he was convicted – a Facebook user left the comment on the New York State Unified Court System’s page.
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted,” the comment read, along with a celebrating emoji. “Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
It’s unclear whether the user was being facetious or speaking truthfully about their relation to one of Trump’s jurors, but on their personal page, they describe themself as a “professional s— poster” – . “
