McCarthy Slams Judge Merchan for Giving Jury ‘Menu of Choices’ to Convict Trump: ‘Pretty Outrageous’

Fox News’ Andy McCarthy explained how one particular instruction given to the jury by Judge Juan Merchan in Donald Trump’s hush money trial gives the prosecution an advantage on America’s Newsroom Wednesday.

On Wednesday morning, Merchan told the jury that it could convict Trump if they decide the falsification of business records charges he faces are tied to an intent to commit any one of three crimes — a violation of federal campaign law, falsification of other business records, or tax fraud — revealed by the prosecution on Tuesday even if they don’t agree on which crime he intended to commit, repeating an assertion made by prosecuting attorney Joshua Steinglass.

On Fox News, McCarthy said he couldn’t bring the instruction into “line with the United States Constitution.”
