Judge Admonishes Trump For Intimidating Potential Juror During Questioning

Former U.S. President Trump's civil fraud trial continues, in New York

During a recent court proceeding, Judge Juan Merchan expressed concern over former President Donald Trump's behavior towards a potential juror. The judge noted that Trump was gesturing and audibly speaking in the direction of the juror while they were being questioned.

Addressing Trump's legal team, Judge Merchan emphasized that he would not tolerate any actions that could intimidate jurors in the courtroom. He specifically instructed Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, to speak to his client regarding the incident.

It was reported that the judge raised his voice while addressing Trump's attorney about the matter. Despite the admonishment, Blanche proceeded to argue about the juror in question.

The incident highlights the importance of maintaining decorum and respect within the courtroom, especially during sensitive legal proceedings. Judges play a crucial role in ensuring that all parties involved in a case conduct themselves appropriately to uphold the integrity of the judicial process.
