"It's a Biden Witch Hunt!" Trump Speaks Out in New York Courthouse

Former President Donald Trump speaks to the media in a New York courthouse hallway on May 29, 2024, declaring "It's a Biden Witch Hunt!" as jury deliberations begin in his hush money trial.

The historic case marks the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president, with a jury of seven men and five women tasked with delivering a fair and impartial verdict. After an hourlong reading of jury instructions, Judge Juan M. Merchan reminded jurors, “It is not my responsibility to judge the evidence here. It is yours.”

Trump, leaving the courtroom, expressed frustration and skepticism about the trial's fairness, asserting, “Mother Teresa could not beat these charges. These charges are rigged.”

The jury's deliberations will be conducted in private, but they can communicate with the judge through notes to rehear testimony or see evidence. The outcome of the trial will hinge on their discussions, which remain confidential until a verdict or an impasse is reached.

Stay tuned for more updates on this unprecedented trial.
