A random comment made to the New York Court’s Facebook page predicting Donald Trump’s conviction a day before the verdict was handed down prompted Judge Juan Merchan to alert both sides’ counsel. In a letter, Merchan said the comment–“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work !!!! ❤️.”– was posted by someone identifying themselves as “Michael Anderson.” There’s no information if the account that posted the comment is authentic or if it’s just some random MAGAt trying to screw with the inevitable conclusion after hearing the boatload of evidence.
UPDATE (8:15 p.m. ET): A self-proclaimed “professional shitposter” took, um, “credit” for the post on Facebook. Hopefully, officials will investigate him for his effort to tamper with the jury.
