Trump's Daily Statements Pose Risk of Prejudicing Jury Pool, Warn Prosecutors
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC
Prosecutors in the federal case against former President Donald Trump, where he is charged with crimes related to trying to reverse his loss in the 2020 election, have warned that Trump's daily statements could prejudice the jury pool. They pushed back on Trump's lawyers' request for a three-week briefing process, arguing that it would halt litigation. The prosecutors also requested to file a sealed motion containing sensitive materials, which Trump's lawyers later asked to vacate. The court granted Trump's motion, but defense lawyers must respond to the prosecutors' motion by Monday.
