Seven men and five women are currently considering 34 felony counts against former President Trump. Prosecutors allege that Trump falsified business records to conceal potentially damaging stories during his 2016 presidential campaign. Trump's defense team has argued that the Manhattan District Attorney's office has failed to substantiate their case, a sentiment echoed by many legal experts.
Prior to heading into the courtroom, Trump expressed frustration, stating that he was unable to discuss the case due to a gag order imposed by the judge. He criticized the proceedings, calling it a 'ridiculous case' that is detrimental to the country. Trump also raised concerns about the judge's impartiality, without elaborating on the specifics of the alleged conflict.
