Jun 7, 2024, 08:42 PM

Judge Merchan has notified all parties involved in the New York case against Donald Trump about a Facebook post made a day before Trump's conviction. The post, allegedly from a cousin of one of the jurors, celebrated Trump's impending conviction with a message on the NY Courts FB page saying, 'Thank you folks for all your hard work.' According to New York law, this requires the verdict to be nullified and a new trial to be held. The notification was sent via email to both parties.
